Carb's fat for break-in so as soon as I get some miles on her (going to Springfield for the Mile this weekend, if it doesn't get rained out) we'll spin her up and get things adjusted for power. I'll let ya know what I end up with

Man, those are great numbers and will only get better with tuning. Glad to see somone else getting great success with Woods Cams, I am a firm believer in them. Another hotrod bagger on the loose.

Question, how is the top end noise/clatter with the 400 cam? My experience is they are always a bit noisy, but nothing you cant live with.

Running the TW-400-6 cams in mine and love'em.

Congrats. Sounds real snotty. I remember the first time I let loose on my old 95" build. It was a blast. It had no where near the numbers you got, but it was enough to pull the guy that got next to me at that light. Fun stuff.

Sounds like a sweet build! I saw alot of nice scooters over there in Springfield at the mile. Turned out nice after they got the track half way dried out.
