What up guys. I was contiplating the high compression pistons, web 150i cams, and big gun exhaust. My biggest consern is reliablity. I still have 4000$ to pay on this thing and i want to know it will last. I do lots of casual trail riding, mudding and even take the thing hunting so i need to know that i will not have to work on it and worry about it every day. If i could get feedback from any and everyone with these mods and their experience including pros and cons, that would be great. Also, i have heard about these CWR 355 cams. Are they better than the web. I dont really want to have to replace the valve or springs if i have to. Thanks for any help

i put a full on bbk in my bike and its just as reliable as stock if you ask me.. i just change my oil and go... takes alittle more gas now but i never had a problem from the motor..

you shouldnt have any problems... as long as you take care of it and change the oil in regularly i would think it would be as reliable as you would want it..

Just my 2 cents...

I've installed off the shelf pistons and cams on my old Prairie 650...it ran better, but I was definitely disappointed in the small gains that I got considering the time and $ that I put into it. After I installed an 800cc BBK and bigger carbs on my current quad, I am MUCH happier with my gains. From my experience, I would say DON'T bother messing with off the shelf stuff, especially if its just stock-bore pistons. Its well worth spending a little more money to buy a larger cc BBK from a reputable builder of your choice. IMHO, the gains from a BBK are dramatic compared to off the shelf parts put in a stock-bore motor.

As far as reliability, I now have put about 700 miles on my quad since the BBK installation about 1.5 years ago, including about 8 XC races and several drag races too. The only real problem I had was disappearing coolant, but that was solved once I switched to EVAN'S COOLANT last summer.

Happy trails...:)

thanks guys. Mickeyboy, i know i could get more out of the bbk but i just dont have the money. I am planning on doing everything myself. I have heard just the pistons and cams can work good. I am not planning on racing except for the occasional freindly race. I use mostly for mudding and trail riding. Are the CWR 355 cams better than the web 150i? Will i have to replave valves or springs with these cams?

Brutus,

I did the work myself as well...that said, I "only" spent about $500 on Hotcams and Wiseco pistons when I built my P650. In the end, I ran the same in 300' as a stock P700 with dyna cdi and modded stock pipe. That result was disappointing to say the least. If I were you, I'd save up my money and wait to buy a BBK from an engine builder. I think you will be much happier than the aftermarket pistons/cams. But that is just my opinion and others may disagree.

As far as the web cams and CRW cams...I don't think the Web 150i cams require HD springs, but I don't know about the CWR cams.

Good luck with whatever you choose.

Happy trails...:)

CWR 355's are better than the web150i's but there are better cams available to go with... They all require valve springs though.

According to the Web Cams website, the 150i does not require HD springs. Apparently, they also offer a 504 cam that does require springs, but I have never heard of their 504 cams.

The Hotcams for the V-twin does not require HD springs either.

I'll be honest with you Brutus, because I don't care about all these different engine builders. I have a 800cc kit built by Woodlands Custom ATVS. It has heads built by Darkside Dieselworx. Web 150i cams and 11.5 to 1 JE pistons. It has pushed me to low 8 second passes with the stock Carbs still on it. I haven't even begun to realize the power of this motor. It is tuned by Woodlands ATVS. You don't need a huge motor. The right combo from a guy who just wants to make your bike fast and not take your money is more important. BTW, My motor spins 9000+ in the traps with stock valve springs and has no Blow By!!!!

Do your homework and Choose Wisely......... Just say NO to Nitride coating.

I wasn't refering to the web150i's mikey i was refering to all the better cams.

Given what valve springs cost its kind of pointless not to spend the little extra for a much better set of cams.

Are those JE's flat top pistons because if so they aren't really 11.5:1... As far as the hype from the builders its really simple the web150i is a good overall cam but when it comes to racing there are ones that simply make more power... **** web even offers a bigger cam themselves than the web150i now.

so are the weisco ones better than je? i know you cant get 11.5:1 without head work with any pistons. I know i can get better cams than the web150i or the CWR 355's but like is said, im not really going for a ballz to the wall drag bike, just like to have more power without having to change to much stuff( ie. valves, valve springs, retainers......) and still have the reliablity.

Mine are JE CUSTOM and yes they are 11.5 to 1. 146lbs per cylinder. Do the math. I am going to go with bigger cams, being that my heads will out flow anything to date. Darkside CNC ported. 150i cams make power is all that I am saying. 8.30's in the 1/8th with stock carbs?. Bike is not stripped down and I am 230lbs. Do the math.....how much power am I making?????

Swamp.... That's a good one..

Also midevil I'd like to see video proof of these 8.3 run's with your set up.. Maybe 600' not a true 1/8th

Tankrunner,

Midevil (aka Bobby) posted some vids of his 4 runs from last Sunday night at the local 1/8 mile drag strip. I was there racing against him for the first 3 before I left for the night, so I didn't see his last run when he supposedly got 8.3 sec at 77mph. Anyway, here is a vid of that run which is posted on the Woodlands Custom ATV site...

thanks mikey.. You said you was only about 3 or so lengths behind him and you was running 9's or 9.2's if he was running 8.3's he would easily been 8 or more.

Tankrunner,

The first 2 runs we raced together, he beat me by about 4 or 5 quad lenghts...in those races, I had a 9.4 and 10.something due to traction/wheelie issues. My best run was the 3rd race when I got a 9.2 @ 71 mph and my best guess is that I was about 3 quad lengths behind him at the finish line...altho it was probably a closer race b/c he redlighted that one.

He apparently did MUCH better on his 4th run (when I was gone). Altho you can see in the vid of that run that he had trouble on the start and he had to let out once. IF that is an accurate time (8.3 seconds) for that 4th run, then he should be able to improve it some more if he can improve his launches. Without seeing the actual timeslip for that run, no one will know for sure if that was an 8.3 second run (he didn't show me his time slips, but I showed him mine).

Like I said in the other post, we both had the same top speeds in our first few runs...I could stay the same distance behind him all the way down the track after I finally got traction...which leads me to believe my motor is equally as strong as his. Its just that he has a much better set-up for the asphalt drags and he is able to launch much better than me. I'm sure I'd give him more competition if I set mine up for the drags...heck, all I really need is a wheelie bar, but I don't know where to buy one for the Prairie (Shotgun stopped making them).

Happy trails...:)

That's cool. If he did run an 8.3 with that set up. hat's off to him, but it's just hard to believe from what i've seen and done and from the info you have. I just don't like folk's stretching the truth if ya know what I mean.

Yep, I know where you are coming from. Hard to believe a motor with off-the-shelf pistons and cams runs that fast. Who knows, maybe he'll beat his best time tonight (I think he was planning to go again tonite) and perhaps we can talk him into posting a pic of his time slip when he returns? That would remove any doubt.

Happy trails...:)

Mike isnt this the one missing the whole front diff and axles?

He said it wasnt stripped down. I think removing that stuff is what you call stripped down. In a earlier post about the bike they said the shaved a bunch of weight.

If its his motor in the pics on that companies web site why is he running a Fou rStrok eTe ch side cover.

I will sell you the beach front property next store to my house if you really want it.
