Not a lot in the press about the Rocket Cams yet, but did stumble across this

Well that's just a release that was probably paid for by the maker of the cams, & by the way Hot Bike is no longer in publication, they went under like a lot of mags lately. If you're dead set on using something different give it a try, but I'm not impressed by the specs on his cams & his dyno numbers are in STD measurement not SAE. SAE numbers are corrected by the conditions when the dyno test was done & even things out for temp & atmospheric conditions, STD numbers are usually higher by 3-4%. There are too many good cams from well known manufacturers for me to take a chance on the "new" hottest thing on the market.

Thank you for this comment, I would have never caught the standard vs SAE observation....

Because of the lack of real world information and feedback on the Rocket 444, I just ordered the Red Shift 468 kit. Thanks for all the comments, much appreciated.
