I'm fairly sure Hackmunch also said the cam tunnel is at a different height from the cylinder deck in a Takegawa head than it is in a stock Daytona head ...
its always those last Hp's you hunt for that are the most expensive.
i feel the daytona does not need anymore stroke (59mm is plenty). the best bang for the buck is the 268 cam with 150hc piston but for another 100$ the 268 with TB 60mm scut (167cc) kit will haul ass. i think we have some videos with all of the different setups. i will have to get eviloompa to put them on youtube for the non believers. i just had a friend switch over from a yx160 with 60mm tb hc piston and v2 head(stock s20 cam option) to the daytona 150, he is running the 268 cam with 150cc hc piston and told me he feels the daytona makes more topend then his v2 setup but has a tad less bottomend but he said the main benifit from switching over was the cl ratio tranny and the way the engine shifts, he also said he loves the ignition, he installed a switch on the green and white lead on the ignition and can switch between 2 different ignition maps on the fly like the vortex/tokyo mods setup. i told him the bottomend difference is more than likely the ignition on the daytona as it is nowhere near advanced as the yx/155z. he is gonna play around with the adjustable ignition timing to see if he can equal the yx160/v2 bottomend grunt. just a side not this "friend" is an a class bigbike rider.
the prob ive found Hack is the daytona ignition are great but dont vary as the revs do. the advance is set to the one figure the whole way through.
stage 1 = 25
stage 2 = 30
stage 3 = 35
stage 4 = 40

Have heard less stroke , will hve a greater top end pull compared to the same engien/bore with a bigger stroke . so in a way the stroke could of a been a bad option ...
But im way drunk and i think i heard that stuff .
think it was comparing a yx 150/160 . one good for motard , one better for mx
yes you did hear that, it was comments about the motard rider that won the last round of VIC titles and he prefers to run the YX150 over the YX160 because it spins up faster.
in saying that, there is word that the daytona stroker gives you another 1,000rpm, sounds strange that a longer stroke would do that but ill be able to tell you guys for sure when my motor is running. also this daytona 160 doesnt seem to be short on rev's!
