What would you do first?
I'm leaning towards new Woods cams and adjustable pushrods but I'm wondering if maybe I should do my heads first and order a big bore kit. I'm going to eventually do both but wanted your guys opinion first? Whatcha think?

Really I'd wait till I got it all together this late in the yr.
Then have it all done this winter, that way U'll only need 1 dyno and some shops have winter specials on builds and labor just to keep wrenchs busy..
Also by then U can check out who'll do the head and be for sure on the cams and comp for the head guys to be sure they do the correct type of porting U'll need..
If U still insist on doing 1, I'd do the cams first, that way U wont have double labor on head removal work. Plus head work without cams is not the way to go.

Thanks for the advice, that's what I was thinking also was do cams first. I'm going to get from fuelmoto and install myself to save labour costs plus I like wrenching on my own bike. Also FM says they will send me a map to download so no need for dyno yet. I'm looking forward to this winter project
