cams for a TC88 won't fit a TC96. Different chain drives as well as bearing size. You will have to buy one for a 96 if you want that cam.

25464-06 is the PN for the 204 for the later models and it is a direct bolt in. You will need to decide if you are going to retain stock pushrods or install adjustables. If you aren't planning on changing cams again any time soon, you might consider retaining stock. Change those inner cam bearings if/when you change cams and a new set of lifters would be a good idea as well. Have you considered the aftermarket? The Andrews TW54, I guess it would be the 54N for your appliation is a relatively new cam intrduced by Andrews about the middle of last year specifially for the '96 engine. The dyno sheets I have seen are impressive for a bolt in cam; torque comes on fairly early, gets up quick and the curve is broad and flat. I have not ridden a bike with this cam installed but the dyno sheets indicate that it would be a fun cam. Just thought I would mention it.

I ran the 204s in a 95" Deuce for a season and liked them (104TQ/93HP) but they do like a little compression and have a wicked advance curve with 8* ground into the profile. The idle was cool; thumpy, choppy, like a cammed small block Chevy but on a hot summer day in south Texas and some shitty gas, they would ping, so I had to replace them.

I'm planning to install 204s in mine here soon, and looking for a decent PCIII map. I'm planning on dynoing eventually. Seems the only cam anyone has a map for with a stage 1 96" is for 255 cams. I've been told they work great in a stock 96" as well.
