A local guy claims that his 93' CBR 600 F2 puts out "around" 150 at the wheel because of a "cam" he "put" in it. Is this even possible? He was also ranting about how riding a wheelie shows you know how to control your machine and how he has way more experience than most GP riders because he rode dirtbikes for a few years. Bear in this guy also has a Vance Hines pipe and 54 tooth rear.
50 hp from a cam?

i know a guy who claims his f4 puts down 152 with a small shot of juice, and that it will SMOKE my buddies r1 that has 185+ at the wheel, and my buddy's a good rider.
he claims he weighted his f4 at something around 500 lbs, and the r1 weighs around 420 or so. hmm.....

impossible. youre talking about a 50% horsepower increase from a cam swap. that cam would have to allow the engine to rev to rpm's that the rest of the internals cant handle. i build big inch race automotive engines that have huge cylinder heads and high compression, and id kill for a cam that gives a 50% increase. it just aint happening on a small displacement engine, or any other for that matter. for those types of increases, nitrous is the answer.Zippy said:

Hummmm, so he's got more experience than the guys who have been racing since they were 6 years old huh? Give your friend a big pimp slap for me, and NO is F2 is not putting anywhere near 150 to the crank, much less the rear wheel. Unless along with that came he has a turbo or a huge shot of nitrous. I hate people who lie about the things they have.

i call bullshit on those figures unless using a fogger system on the R1. teh F2 or F3 bullshit is a joke. one you need 2 cams not just one and just cause it got a set of cams it will need adquate head flow and jetting along with a good exhaust to make everything work rightZXLNT said:

yes, he does. i've seen it. its a graves superbike engine (stroked, cams, ported/polished head, higher compressions), with graves TI full exhaust, and some other little goodies. it straight whomps my 160hp gsxr1000.
i wish i could produce the chart, but my friend tells everyone that it only has a slipon, he wants to keep it quiet. but listening to the thing you can clearly tell its more than a full exhaust on it.

The HP gained must be from the fair of stickers that came with the cam.
