That's how I am going to justify buying it. Torture the kidneys and upgrade.
Researching some good PC places to get some, but not all of, the chrome and aluminum pieces gone.

Thanks bud- even though I was wrong and was thinking 103" for a moment. with the 96" motor the SE204 is the "drop in" cam of choice. if using a 57 then you'll need to raise compression. Anyway here is a good thread on the topic, and member ke5rbd is very knowledgeable if further info is needed. He is here on the forum regularly.

Congrats on the Night Train. Bought mine in Nov 2014 with 12K mi on it and love it. They are definitely very cool rides. I had my pipes ceramic coated, picked them up yesterday and hope to have time to get them back on next week and ride.

Thanks fellas, the info so far is a great and welcomed point in the right direction.
LA_Dog, between you, Story 808 and a couple of others, I have been gathering a wealth of knowledge and ideas. Can't wait to put them into action.
