Finding a cure for heat
Okay. As we all know, the TC96 are hot. Besides adding free flowing exhaust, air box and fuel managment with proper dyno tune, what else can be done to cool these hot boxes down. Ive read about oil coolers, cams, head work, ect... I have read good things about the oil coolers but I want something better. To me cams and head work sound like a better fix than to band-aid the issue. I ve read post from GMR about there engine packages lowering temp 50*. Does anyone have any personal data of temp drops after cam installs? If so, what cams? Im thinking of Andrew's 27

RE: Finding a cure for heat
You don't want the 27 cam...it's for an Evo....but the 26 is a good choice if thats all you looking to do. The 37 or TW6-6, or R&R 525 with some head work will make the bike come alive with lower running temps in the 210 to 240 degree range. (depends where your at in the country...temps here in Florida on a hot day get to 250 at times)

With just the Andrews 27, no head work, what results could I expect to see? I live in Missouri, Kansas City. It does get real hot here in the summer months. Triple digits for the most part of August.

RE: Finding a cure for heat
I think the biggest 2 things to help this issue is head porting and tunning the fuel curve.
a good syinthetic oil can help a bit too.
as for cams, the Head-quarters 0039 is a slammin bagger cam, has low end power starting at just over 2K and pulls like mad to almost 6K.

RE: Cams- Anyone check out king of cubes site ? Randy there has a R525 cam for the 96 c.i. with gear drive and cam plate says it will provide good lw and mid and take out 30 degrees of heat. Most likely will go with new lifters and springs and p-rods too. Looking at this set up for spring along with royal purple oil. Got my tmax this week so that ought to help manage things pretty well.
