for the time being, think the cam will be enough,would like to have fuelmoto 107 kit.but going to run this cam for a while, maybe next winter.what i have read on this forum think the cam will give me that little bit of extra torque that i am looking for.

With stock heads you would see about 85-92hp/105-110 tq. They say if you go with SE 1.725 rockers along with your cam you could see a little more tq across the board by getting a little more lift.

Congrats on the win. Not trying to curb your enthusiasm but be aware that SE204s in a 103" are going to increase your compression toward the high end; static at 9.8, corrected at 9.3 and cranking compression north of 190psi. You will need a good tune and when the weather warms up, listen for detonation (pinging). A tank of chitty gas may also bring it on. Compression releases would help battery and starter on hot start; she will resist and want to kick back when hot.

The SE204 is a great bolt in cam but has wicked dynamic advance ground into the cam which makes it a hot little cam but also contributes to the issues mentioned above. You might consider installing it with a 4* retard gear. In the future, if you do some headwork and set the heads up for those cams, you can remove the retard gear and install them straight up.
