Your not going to notice the difference in lift between the 2 cams. The 259 @ 47* ivc is gonna want more static comp, 10.5-10.6 and will com on a little later and carry our a tad longer than the 777. IMHO the 777 is more functional than the 259. Puts the usable power to the left a little on the curve.

When I built mine it started as a stage 4 with 259 cams . My DYNO at 115.06 HP & 122.89 Toque. HD shop done 2 stage 4 with woods 777 cams their DYNO was 113.0 HP & 119. Toque. Just less not much .Know I change to stage 5 with GMR 600 cams. The CNC factory ported heads are small valve heads, needs all the lift they can get.PS I use A Andrews 4 degrees advance gear.

Peak torque and horsepower isn't relevant for most people unless the bike sees the drag strip regularly. I'd rather a bike with a decent plateau of usable torque in the midrange anyday

I couldn't agree more and it took me a little while to figure that out. Smaller peak number bikes outrun larger peak number bikes everyday. Not that I race a lot, but who can argue the thrill of a 900 lb. scoot gettin up and goin in a hurry?
