Lots of plans you have going on which sounds great. My hunch is you'll get a detailed reply by early Monday am. You could send a pm or just call Monday for all the answers you need.

lots of plans in BIG PICTURE, right now I want to see the shop work, installing a simple cam job, pushrod,tappet etc....THAN in winter we let the dogs loose if I'm happy with quality of work, a cam job, they should have no problem w/me being present, not hanging over shoulder obviously, just present, I've seen this excact kit done same bike 2 hours, my bud helped, removed pipe etc....but its a good break the ice, theres things ill look for as far as quality of work, ESPECIALLY if your talking a 3-4k motor, which I'm sure I ll end up with,not including what I do now, pushrods can remain, tappets, id throw new Torrington's in with new cams for 107 , but tuner etc....so yea 4-5k,,,LOL does go quick...if they push thru a cam job, missing the simple steps, like let the cams settle before final adjustments, I saw a shop do that to another friend, said all you need is 15 minutes to settle BULLSHIT, 25 minutes...its stuff like that,NON oiling of tappets??? I mean I've heard stories... if they can't be patient and do things such as, I want nothing to do with...again I have a 25k quad in garage, mech was awesome, before the 450's were out, we did a 440 kit, and everything you can imagine...lol,......

This is a good buds of mines setup, JUST the 583c cams, As well as the setup I want to do right now, and this with a fp3 tuner, I have these pipes as well, I like to go 2-1 for more HP, but LISTEN, and it runs fantastic!!!


this is a runner up also.....I like the pull and I wonder if I can drop to the .030 head shim, says it responds well?http://www.feulingparts.com/products...ve%20Cams/1006
