If you ride alone, like I do, I find that my 96" rocker with a similar stage 1 with a cobra efi controller runs PERFECT and I have plenty of power. I also still have all the money that I could spend on internal engine mods, but from what I read on here from alot of folks who have had the experience of doing big engine builds and have it turn out bad and some REAL bad with engine failures that the vendors don't stand behind...Ride safe.

Just curious, what are you doing to the crank? Weld crank or something? Lefty bearing?

Sorry to hijack this thread, now my question is, if I ever do a 107 and head work, is the stock crank and bearing gonna take it? I really don't plan on doing major crank work, if that is the case, I stick with cams and leave it as is lol.

Haha I wish I could say the black helped. Both other bikes were black as well. Has anyone who has installed the cams say their overall acceleration was about the same, or only moderately different? I know they can feel different, and the dyno can say your number are up, But overall how much faster would you say it was??
It was a major difference!

Ha, just kidding. This is all good info.I still am curious tho, which of you out there who have done cams actually felt a significant acceleration difference? Or was it mostly just higher dyno numbers? Maybe that doesnt make sense...
