Hi Joe,
We have a 110" job, in house now(mail-in) that is being set up for the use of those cams.
Lower-lift version of his TW-400.
From running it thru the engine programs we have, it looks like a great cam.

What are you setting the compression at for this application?

Not sure he has 'em, yet, for the earlier bikes, but I'll check.
If he does, no doubt it would be a home run, set up correctly.

Scott -

how much of a gain would I see in the 117" you did for me?

i'm still running the 6's.... am thinking about moving the power just a little to the right and quieting the valve train. it's got to be almost time for new lifters/tensioners

I think I'm more curious to see how they do in a bolt in application like a stock 103 or 96.

If you could give me a holler, I'll can run the 6 and the 777 off, and can fax the side/side comparison to you.

Joe,
Not enough compression in OE trim, to have it show it's teeth, but it would/could be as simple as a cylinder head re-surface, to cure that.

Yea I knew they would perform better with some more squeeze but Bob advertises them on his website as bolt in for 96, 103 and 110 motors so I was just wondering if anyone has tried them without cutting the heads any to see how well they do. Someone will try it, only a matter of time.
