Love them Evo's!! My little 80 incher will run with the best of them. BUT, there is a fine line you don't want to cross. I could have pumped more compression into it with a huge cam, and I might later because I have another bike. But it is absolutely perfect! Can go anywhere on this bike. I only have 4k miles on this build and just about all of them is WOT. Hasn't missed a beat yet!

I appreciate all the input. I'm shipping my heads and jugs to Scott this week, gonna go with 10.0-1, Stage 2 heads, Woods W6 and S&S E ww/Thunderjet. Should be fun this spring with a fresh Hillside 107 and Hillside Evo.
