The 204 is nowhere near the 203. The 204 closely resembles the old Andrews 37B cam. The early exhaust close timing raises static compression greatly, which makes the cam one of the best bolt in, instant gain cams on the market. It also responds even better with head work. I've been running one with a 95" kit and JHD heads for over 6 years, and I regularly take out my friend on his Honda 600R crotch rocket.

I went with the 211's on my build and I couldn't agree more either, they make such a HUGE differance. I had mine out yesterday for it's first long ride too. That thing pulled like a monster on meth !!! That 6th gear is so nice, isn't it Dude? It's like it don't ever want to top out. Then when you just bring it back down to cruise it's like 2200, 2300 rpm's at 70 and felt like riding on glass. I would never own another bike with a 5 speed and if I did it would be with the intent of putting a 6 speed in as soon as I got it home. That 6 speed would be the 1st thing on my list of mod's.
