If you ever run into Mike Roland at a major bike event, talk to him. He is very personable and will explain anything you want to know. His cam power numbers are far better than anyone elses I've seen (if they are true). He seems to be the real deal and he fired up that crusher bike they have oin the website. It sounds healthy but very streetable. It makes a claimed 120 HP 110 Torque from a 95 CI TC.
You can check out their numbers here.

I havn't run their cams yet, but I was going to before August 12th happened.
good luck

You are right, Mike is a great guy, he tuned my bike. My specs are below.

RE: Not impressed with cams!
I am having head work done too. I stopped by today and they are way hogged out! plus I went to a 1.94 intake valve. we will see what happens. I don't think anthing is "just a waste of time". take a look at the numbers the kuryakyn guys are getting with stock heads. plus if its a budget build you can always yank the heads and get them done next winter.

RE: Not impressed with cams!
OK now its a runner! I finally figured out why it was flat in the top, my petcock wasnt flowing enough fuel. now it pulls all the way trough. the 95" kit helps too. this thing flat gets it. here is the list now
Weisco domed 10.5:1 pistons big bore
factory jugs bored at local machine shop
heads ported and bwls blended same machine shop
1.94 intake valves and 3 angle valve job
kuryakyn cams
SE thick head gaskets bringd the compression down to 10:1
seat of the pants, messy
still have to tune the thing I am close though bigger main jet is in order.
