Maybe discussed before, so sorry, I didn't find it. I have the choice between those four.

Which one adds the most hp/torque to a stock and 130cc?

I have the Takegawa one but I have not put it in I would like to know as well , On my 50 I had the Takegawa 88cc kit stock head and a friend of mine had the Kamikaze 88cc kit both put together at the same time and the Kamikaze had way more power band , I do not know the lift and duration if i had that we would know .

Its not always about HP/Tq, you need to look at the power curves as well. Usually a cam is built for a sepcific reason, and to match other parts. They make different cams to serve different purposes, so the real question is what kind of riding do you do or what are you planning on doing with this bike?

I'm planning on this ^^^ exact thing only with a ported head, and KLX140 carb. I already have a BBR cam, and D2 pipe in the stock motor. It runs pretty well, but unfortunately isn't competitive against the heavier modded motors by any stretch of the imagination. It is a ball to ride however, and I can launch off of jumps wide open without looping out.



I'd go with the BBR because as far as I know, they developed their cam with the 130 and 143. I don't thinj that the newer D Comp cam came out until they were building 160+ cc engines. --L*64

anybody using the YX cam in a stock 110 with pipe and filter? I can get one for free.. is it worth putting in?


I was told other machining work had to be done to accept the YX cam. They are inexpensive, but the machining costs more than make up for it.



I believe I have a TB cam in mine. I need to dial in jetting but so far I'm not sure I like it... I'd rather have some of my bottom end back, but like I said I really need to dial in jetting before I make any more assessments.



I'd really like to see a chart of the different cams and what they're supposed to do... maybe a chart with overlaps and lifts and such. I know these charts exist for other motors...

Guys Takegawa S35 for most peak HP I think most dirt riders go with a S20 but a S25 would be good for some dirt and good for the street.. the S35 is a all out road race cam.... Now lots of guys in the dirt on larger engines like the GPX184V2 head and some GPX 160s aslo use the S35 and said for the larger engine it gave them mid range and top end so good all around...

thats for a roller head not a stock head.. i use the tak hypercam in my stocker and it works well in the topend im not too impressed with the lowend , the chp privateer cam had better low end but had a lil less up top that the tak. this is on a stock motor w/portedhead , hc piston,pc pipe and a stock airbox.

u know i think takegawa is a more roadrace driven brand, so they do look for the topend power...but i do think this isnt what everybody is looking for in mx...so a bbr or chp should be good
