The 204 really is a cam that likes a little bump in compression to perform the best. If you want basically the same results on a bone stock engine, go with the 203, Andrews 21 or HQ500 and you wont even have to think about the advance key. Why try to make something work that wasn't designed for the application?

Here's my thoghts,
If you pull the cam plate, put gear driven cams in with a 4 degree advance gear. You won't have any more cam chain adjuster maintanance ever again. On the other hand, will you really see a benifit to your low end torque with a 4 degree advance on a low lift cam? You will loose miles per gallon just to gain maybe 10 more ft lbs of torque.
I've been down this road and found something much better. If you are curious, I will write more. Any way, hope that helps.

I don't think they would be so good in a stock compression bike. There are better choices. Now I have SE 204's in a 103" engine with 10.1 compression and i couldn't be happier with it. I freely admit my cam choice was not based on extensive research and comparison but instead by the fact that i paid $100 for them new off ebay and i was pretty sure they would work just fine.
