Cams for Rosso

[Guest John T]

Hi Folks, first post here.

 

I'm interested in more power out of my Rosso and think the next step might be a cam.

I've already done head work, and PC with modified airbox. Result is just over 90 hp at the rear wheel.

 

I am going to put on a Stucchi crossover and put stiffer valve springs on with a cam.

 

I am also looking into Carrillo rods and an engine balancing.

Anyone know of some not too radical cams?

 

Thanks in advance.

John, Love your piece on guzzitech,

I have alot to learn about cams. From what I understand, the cam on our bikes is pretty radical for a production street bike. Looking at your dyno results, the HP is peaking between 7500 and 8300 rpms.

Personally, I have no intention of ever changing my cams.

I think you have a good plan go with the Stucchi crossover, but if you change cams, your peak power may become inaccessible and may require, not only the Carillo rods and stiffer springs, but other mods too.

The Stucchi crossover will give you more mid grunt which will mean less shifting and faster riding.

How about selling your flowed heads to me and getting the 1200cc kit from RaceCo?

Also Fast by Feracci is supposed to have higher compression pistons that would probably work really well with the Carillo rods.

Ok, so you need to get a new cam, here are some links:

Best of luck, and let us know what you learn and show us your dyno results!
