Hi there

I have not seen those cam numbers before, (not that I know much about cam timing, I am still waiting to fit my cam wheels when I find enough info).

A good hp increase, was the head 'cleaned' up, or fully ported ( thinner head gasket ! ) .

I am assuming that all the ignition advance, TPS, filters, pipe and what ever else has also been done.

What does it ride like, more midrange or top end power.

Thanx drp.

More importantly -----------------> How does the bike run? Any numbers to compare from the track? Any GPS numbers to compare before and after? Dyno numbers can swing from one end to the other depending on too many different reasons...

it out traps any n/a bike at the strip by at least 5 mph. in terms of ET, i shortened the bike 4" back to stock wheelbase, and geared it taller (went from 16/50 to 17/46) and it runs just as quick, 10.1. right now the only bike all year to run a lower ET or higher MPH is a turbo/stretched zx14. i think i can live with that since i'm all motor on a stock arm.

Glad to see its kicking ass. For the record, AlmostLes races at some crazy elevation in case you are wondering why it isn't doing 9s out the box.
