I had in my last bike S.E.-204 cams with the 1.7 rocker arm and it run very strong.
my dyno sheet was 96 horsepower and 114 torque,and that was with stock heads and compression

I think they want a lope sound. Need a low rpm oil pump for that feomwhat I hear. Not safe to idle that low?

I decided to go with a full built 124 outlaw build with chain drive and a slick so as not to be silly to the internet hero types, Thanks to the ones who recommended the woods 5-6... looks like a cam that would be good for future upgrades. Im at 42k miles now and new jugs and pistons are soon in the works. Probably will send the heads off with the cam swap as well due to the lift on the 5-6. Or just stick a set of 222 cams in and still sound like a sewing machine...

I put a set of open pipes that were too big on my Dyna to kill some low end torque. Its silly but it sounds great and it dont try to kill me below 4k anymore

I find it silly that someone thinks a cam swap in a Rushmore will give them much more power.
