211s are long duration long overlap cams unless your starting with 10:5 compression they will sap your bottom end terribly. I know because my buddy put them in his 05 Deluxe stock carbed 88 with python pipes and it is absolutely dead until 3500-4000 rpm. Plus side is they sound awesome that’s about it.

Haha just realized this was posted in 2013 ohh well advise for anyone else.
