Default Cams?

Hey all,

I have a 2016 48 thats stage 1 rite now. Im thinking about going cams but havent been able to find a straight answer on what exactl I would need to do. I know I would need to re-tune it but what else? Valve springs? Dont want anything too aggressive but just something that adds some more punch. Also any recommendation's on which cam to go with?

Thanks and happy new year!

Call Hammer performance. They can tell you every thing you ever wanted to know about cams.

Hammer will do you right, but if you aren't doing engine work with compression or headwork, there are few choices of cams that will only get you mild gains. The hammer 570s are about the best there are for that.
