Once again, thank you for the information. At this point I have the cams in but I am waiting for the gaskets to close everything. The dealer had a problem with my order and I am missing a gasket.

In the meantime I am trying to gather the other parts. I allready have a Trophy airbox and will fiddle around to fit it on the bike after I get a dyno run with the cams only.

Since I know where everything is now, I will wait for the dyno run to change the airbox and the jetting but I am quite sure I will need the jets. On the dyno run I have, everything is stock exept the the off road exhaust and the mixture screws turned back 2 1/2 turn and my mixture on the dyno is flat as the ocean at 14

One thing that is confusing while reading too many things is that some people are starting with Thunderbird and not the Sport one. I know there there are some difference but I never saw one up close. Other than the restricted rubbers I do not know if the TB and TBS share the same airbox design.
A dealer once told me that the difference between the HP on both models was from the airbox and according to him, the 10 or so ponies I am looking for are in the airbox system.

I will try to see if someone at factory pro will be nice enough to suggest something.
