Shame you have to spend more money. When I first started thinking about cams I called Andrews and they suggested their 26 on my TC88. I ended up going with their 37 and couldn't be happier. Feels like I have a new bike with a bunch more giddyupandgo.

I'd bet that will make all the difference in the world.

As someone mentioned earlier, cam it so the valves open further, and-or longer, you need to feed the beast, and bump the timing ahead a bit.

A competant tuner will get it dialed in.
