I will only say this because none of you would look me up if on the wcoast fl ( I will meet anyone anytime to chat in person) it would get much more real than this.

So I will put it like this; if any of you met me in person you would be humbled, insecure and well behaved.

And I'll leave you all with a choice line from the one and only Kevin O'Leary, "you're dead to me".


Now all of you please eat something green and start crunching those bellies.

I have the Race Only Stage IV with the larger injectors and I scrapped the stock 259 street legal cam for the better performing Woods.

Never broke a forum rule but whatever boss. Ok terry as far as that build of yours goes...at 120tq and a stage 4...you just PROVED my point on this whole thread...thank you!

And you should be thanking me for cleaning up the dyno lies on this forum...you're welcome.

The answer to me is what do you expect to get and want. If you want better sound, more performance, smoother running and don't mind paying for it they are worth it. Some are strictly out for the bragging rights and numbers. If you are worried about voiding your warranty or not interested in better performance and the sound benefit then they aren't worth it. Some people are performance enthusiast and some are happy with the status quo and amazing how sincere they both are. I enjoy doing my own work and that satisfaction is one of my driving factors to the worth of something. If everyone was the same it would be a dull world.
If you are asking if you can justify putting in cams, other than personal preference then no I don't think you can justify them. If you think they will increase the trade in value, might want to re think that one. Won't hurt it but sure won't help it.

Ok so here you say they ARE worth it.


If you are asking if you can justify putting in cams, other than personal preference then no I don't think you can justify them.


And here you say they are NOT worth it.

Do you ever know what you even really think?
You should stop giving advice on here...it's really bad.

I think for the money cams are a great add on. But then I can install them myself. I like the sound better with cams and you can pick what you want them to do for your ride. As far as the discourse concerning this thread goes, alot of energy was wasted. As long as my bike makes me smile and I have enjoyable rides that's what matters to me. OP buy em if you want em. They make a difference.
