Default cams??

I am looking at putting cams in an 02 883 XL. What will a set of Buell M2 cams do for my bike that has stage 1 upgrades already?

Thanks,
Tim

I don't know much about the Buell cams, but I plan on either a set of N2's or N4's from these guys for my scoot.

Sure there is info in the DIY section but I'm interested in opinions as well.

I've got a 1200 with Stage I and T-slide. I'd like more torque. Not concerned about top-end. I know I can pull more than 100 if I wanted to. 90% of my riding is 70 and below.

Anybody else seen the cookbook thing at the dealer? At mine, its by the service desk. Its got the different combos based on engine, stag I, II, etc. Wondering if that's available online.

And just thinkin' - you'd probably want to consider a 2-into-1 exhaust if you're lookin' to up the torque #'s. SuperTrapp, RB Racing, etc. are worth considering...
And then there's the iggy module - maybe a Daytona TC-88 on top of all that??
Let us know what you come up with!
