With the three beauties in your avatar you're not going to need a new set of cams. You're going to need a new ticker!

from everything i have read and heard, there is nothing you can do with cams on these 96's that will make any drastic difference and its pretty much a waste of time and money, but thats just hearsay so i have no personal knowledge to back that up, i personally would go to a 103in and then do a different cam, or if you wanna spend the cash go to a 110in, but if anyone does know of a cam that can make a difffference, i would certainly be interested.

Peace

I can only tell you the 203's are not worth the effort or expense.

I have a Gear drive cam set up on mine. its great, and I dig the slight whinne I get while riding.

I didnt want radical race cams when I was looking around, I did however want a cam that would give me the broadest power band possible for the money, so big torque down low and somthing that would not run out of breath a 4K rpm.

I choose the Head-Quarters .575 Firestorm cams, man what a great choice!

If you want a lot of torque down low or do a lot of two-up, andrews 26H.
