Yes, I am. To be honest, wasn't blown away by the increase in performance. I've since been told by a reputable shop here in Alabama that the 777 is too big of a cam too keep the torque down low in a 96". Upgrading to a 107" would make this cam more usable. Hoping I can do this soon.

Yes, indeed, the 777s are way too big for a stock compression 96. I went with the 555s, which are arguably also a bit big, but Bob Wood assured me for my riding style they'll work great as I ride solo on backroads and love to twist the throttle.

If I'm not happy with the bottom end torque produced by the Triple Nickels, I can either have the heads worked for more compression, or go with the 10.25 to 1 FM 107 Kit. I'm not too concerned.

I'll report back once my Wood 555 cams are installed, I just dropped the bike off.

Got to love the RKC. Don't understand why the MoCo dropped them for US sales.

As always, it comes down to sales numbers. Companies tend not to drop hot sellers.
