Fundamentally this is the wrong cam for you and your riding style. You want to ride in the lugging zone - that's fine - it's your bike. But I think everything else you might do - bore, porting etc are trying to disguise that you have a cam that doesn't suit you. You say you are on a budget so I would, in your shoes, bite the bullet, sell the 777's and get 255 or 48's and a tune (maps are only good enough to get you to a tuner imho). Sorry to be blunt but....

Having vast experience with Wood cams since the mid-1990's, yes, the 777 is a "bolt-in" cam under the OEM spring pack. That is where it ends.
That cam needs to set @ 10.4 cr to be effective, and display the characteristics that it was intended to show. Big, broad power.
Without increasing the compression, or cubic inch/compression, it is not your man.
BUT, it can be as simple as sending us your cylinders, and bore to 107" with our proprietary Wiesco piston/gasket kit.
At that point, you'd be amazed.
Shy of that, THE, plug/play cam for a 96" is an Andrews 48.
Let us know if we can lend a hand.

Is it worth swapping out SE 255s to 48H?
Thanks

Some think the 48 is hte best "bolt in" cam for the stock 96" engine. JMHO, but think it worth it to make that swap but you will have to be the judge. Unfortuanately, you will have to make the swap to find out, unless you know someone that has installed the 48 in a stock 96"er.
