So there's one cam for the intake and one for the exhaust. ? Anyone know the specs? ?Also, how optomized are these cams. ?Is there any room for improvement? ?Aftermarket options?
Swapping the stock exhaust cam with a stock intake cam is said to give a nice little increase in power. Some say around 7hp but I have not seen any hard #s yet. It is an old trick I've been told.

hihi,

i been looking for info on this.
i was told to change the exhaust cam to inlet/intake cam. and the mid range abt 7K onwards the respone will be big. on how much is the hp will it improve i am not sure.

but i may juz give this a try. in singapore i know a mech who have done this mod and he say the user give gd feedback.
 
Yea I'm for real. Most of my experience is on pushrod stuff. Performance wise I was contemplating a cam swap and maybe porting the heads. I doubt theres any room for bigger valves and I assume they already make them outta pretty light material to sustain such high rpms. I'm confused about the tuning requirements as well for mods like heads/cams for bikes.

I didn't want to sound stupid, but didn't really know a better way to ask.

I found a site w/ the cam specs for the busa. How much bigger can you go on lift w/ stock pistons? Does increasing duration do much for them? Is the duration rated at .050 lift like car cams?

I'm new to bike engines and just have a ton of questions to help me answer for myself where I want to go with the mods.
Mountainmotor and a few others should chime in here, there are some who know these motors all the way down to metallurgy...

As an ignorant layman, I DO know the valves lost 14.5 grams EACH going to titanium on the 08, so there is definitely room to improve there.
