There is no answer to your request. To start with there are countless cams out there and countless ways of building a motor. When I started modifying my motor I found a friendly competent engine builder and asked his advice and followed it. I agree with the others, that you should find your own. He will ask what you want to achieve and discuss various changes you can make. Fitting a new cam is the start, not the end of the job, as other things will need to be adjusted and tuned in for everything to work at its best. Then you agree a setup and sit back while he gets on with it!

that seems to be a problem ,with alot of builds .. Poorly matched parts . In my area there are plenty of guys that have there bikes Stepped up by one shop or another. And the results are somewhat disappointing . The first thing i learned about having work done , is have a builder who is proven to know what combinations work and what doesnt.. You cant just put bigger displacement pistons in with big valve heads , camshafts and more fuel and expect good results.. The builder has to have experience building performance motors for years of trial and error.. Its easy to get 1 hp per cubic inch and just about any mechanic can do that.. A really good performance mechanic is like finding gold once you find one.. Thats why my bike will Never be repaired at a dealership .. Not one I know of anyway...

So if you always follow you’ll never lead.

I get what you’re saying… get more for your money without the labor pains, just hold the baby. But man that’s just wallet racing.. safe, but wallet racin. The trick is to learn discover, trial and error. Then either sell the secret or sit on top of the mountain. The age of the internet is bitter sweet.. the mysteries are revealed like flood gates are opened… but the lies are too.
