Performance and Technical information on Stage 2 engines for Harley-Davidson motorcycles.

Stage Two Engine Basic

The Stage Two Basic engine represents a more extensive approach to improve engine performance with bolt-on components and a bolt-in camshaft. Most people can perform these modifications themselves. Modifications over stock engine are underlined in the list below. The estimated cost for these modifications ranges from $700 to $1000. The performance return for these changes can be large for the dollars spent. Increases up to 30 HP and 20 Ft.Lbs of torque can be seen on some bikes.
The major changes for a Stage Two Basic engine over the Stage One Advanced is the addition of a Crane Fireball 310 camshaft. The original cam bearing was removed and replaced with a Torrington. To speed the installation of the cam, Crane Time-Saver push rods were used. These push rods allow you to cut out the old push rods and install the new ones without removing the rocker boxes.
Testing on the Stage One engine with a Dyna 2000 ignition module produced very poor results. The addition of the Crane HI-4 ignition module was used. The HI-4 allows complete tuning of the advance curve andlet the engine take advantage of the higher RPM range of the new cam. The rev limiter on the ignition module was set to a very conservative 5800 RPM. The maximum RPM range for a Stage II is 6200. A maximum of 70 HP occured at 5500 RPMs, with maximum torque of 78 ft. lbs. at 2600 RPMs.
The dip in the HP and torque curves is likely due to the CV carburetor. A different needle or changing to an after-market carb should smooth the curves. A basic stage two engine does not include the additional $350 to $600 it would cost to buy the carb.
