Don't expect an answer to this question, until he gets dictated, what would be considered an appropriate regal response from NH.

Below 2000 rpms? In what gear? Usually that considered lugging, especially with that pipe you are running. Was the bike tuned for those rpms/load? I wouldnt discount the cam as the POS, i would look at the tune and pipe combo.

prob right.. A little harsh.. Just alittle pissed.. Should have listen to Scoot at Hillside. Bob should have just said Hey you need more compression with this cam. As Scott said. O well it will all work out in the end..

Something as simple as surfacing the heads could bring a whole new level of power to it.

Sure, give me all the data, I need a lot of accurate data to get accurate results. The cam is a traffic cop, what does the highway look like? I need valve sizes, cfm's, velocitys, which makes a vast difference in the results. If you have this data you can send it to Reggie or I and we can plug it in. The velocity is a very big part of the equation. If you don't have the velocitys you at least have the cfms and the valve sizes we can give a good estimation but it is not going to be as accurate.

Randy---thanks for the reply. Perhaps prodrag will chime in with that info. I would be curious to see what the other program tells us. Hopefully he will chime in on this as it is his thread.

Cool, I still make nitro jugs. Get me the data and I'll forward it to R&R.
