Took at look at NB and saw new cams with some interesting numbers. I've done the sweptback pipes and the mototwin SS mufflers. Who's gonna get the cams? Need some empirical data.

Lots of people looking, myself included.

Most are holding back because all the dyno charts only show an increase from 6000 RPM's up. I dunno about you, but a grand is a lot of change for a couple of horses at a RPM I don't see much.

I swapped in some 790 cams (longer duration, same lift) & noticed a definate improvement at high revs over the 865 cams. There's a thread about it buried here somewhere. There is a drop in torque at lower revs, but not as significant as the increase up top. Can't comment on the NB pieces though.
