Default Going crazy trying to decide between...

Cams and a PV or Fuel Moto's 107" kit. Been reading and reading and reading, and still confused. If I go with cams, do I go SE 204's, 255's, Andrews 48, or Wood's 6-6 or 555's. On a 2007 SG 96" with stage one now, big air sucker, big shot duals. I wouldn't want to change the pipes because I love them. I know a good 2-1 would be better, But I just can't get rip of them. Between the cams I can see good and bad between all of them in the forum, Fuel Moto's kit maybe I've seen one negative post, other then the haters out there who are like my builder is better... So, Do I make the trip up to Little Chute, WI and spend about $2500.00 with the PV to go with the kit, or just put some Cams in with a PV for about $1000.00 and call it a day?

Anyone out there put cams in and then went to Fuel Moto's kit and thought, why didn't just not doing the kit first?

Thanks for the input as I'm sure most people have racked their brain trying to fingure out what to do also...

Do the FM107 and the PC-V. You won't be sorry. Its completely worth the price. Until you twist up the FM107 package on your bike, you just can't believe how good it is.

Do the Fuel Moto 107" kit, otherwise you'll just be spending an extra $ 1000.00 because the motor only has to be gone into once. Also you won't be going " I wonder what that 107 kit is like". Prices aren't going to drop that I know of.
Your slipons should work great, call and see what Jamie has to say, he's a straight shooter and will set you up with what you want with products that will work togeather. He won't sell you anything just to sell stuff.

Go with the one on the right. Hope that helps.
Why do you want to change what you have now?

I feel like the bike doesn't have enough power on the highway. I guess I just want that Wow factor everytime I ride.

I went from a '10 w/ 96" to a FM 107" It is a completely better bike then expected. My only upgrade would to have done the heads at the same time. You will still be disappointed with a 96" with cams. 107" you wont be dissappointed

Marty,

Head north and you will find happiness! lol

But your gonna have to give up those pipes to get the full benefit of the FM 107.

They don't work well with the FM107 kit, Ask Jamie he'll shoot you straight.

Brian.

PS: whats another $1200 for new pipes and B level heads.....
