I respectfully disagree.It's not all the same.If you change cams,yes you could loose a few hp,you might gain in tq though.This is why headwork is so important,it can give you more & a better balance of both.The cam,headwork, & compression must be matched to optimize the performance.If at 3,000rpms my bike makes 100hp/100tq & your makes 80hp/80tq is that the same??

You can change gearing,but in my opinion it's a cheap fix.I would want the motor right.As said before you can go down in the front,which is the same as adding to the rear.Do you really want to loose rpms on a motor that doesn't rev much anyway?? The twin cam motor is done making hp/tq at roughly 5,500.That's not much rpm's.Each tooth is probably 200-300 rpms.

Yeah i know redline is the danger zone but me and the rev limiter are real good friends, we see each other quite often. I just cant stay away! I talked to the guy who built my motor and he said it was built capable of turning 7500rpm but limited to 6700 for longevity. It is the quietest motor around. People hear it and cant believe it has 100+ hp until i blow them away.
