Look into the specs on an EV 13. It is designed to grab the cats ***** at a lower rpm. Got one in my 80 CI & nothin' around here passes my except suicide jockeys on their zoom splats!
Hatch.

I think I agree. Could very well be detonation. You need a different cam too.

Sell your 3010 and your ev27 and buy a 3020, that's a beast of a bolt in camshaft. Espically with the compression you currrently have , chad

Id stay away from those crane cams, I just tend to stay with what I personally know works, and 80/80 is easily achievable with that cam,

dong get caught up in the whole idea rpm range, that 3020 will make 70 ft lbs by 2k, it wont be soft, espicially with 10 to 1 with a lighter bike, if its soft, ill buy that cam from you for full price, thats how sure i am of those camshafts, im a huge advocate of vthunder and you wont be disppointed.
