The heads are capable of taking any cam I'll be using and I'm waiting to hear back from the porter on his thoughts. I've spent a couple of years playing with the TMAX on a couple of builds. This build is just a little to finicky for my liking.
One other problem I have. I can't leave anything alone and enjoy working on bikes and trying different things. My plan was to build a low comp 117" this winter before I got my wake up call. I need to put a new roof on my house before winter and as anyone can guess that ain't cheap.

You might also consider a Head Quarters 575. I've ran that cam and it is pretty similar to the 590 in my build. The Cycle Rama 575 is another one that I have seen some pretty impressive dyno charts for.

Another one I'm considering is Woods 5g. Has anyone run this?

I'm starting to like the looks of the 54g at 10.1. It would put me in the 188 neighborhood and with the 42 close vs. the 50 I currently have it might just give me the extra low end bump I'm looking for, not a lot but maybe enough. Maybe add some 1.675 rockers for a little extra lift?

I must be missing something, Bigboyz calculator shows 193ccp@10.17 comp. on the 5G. I have releases but I'm thinking I'd like to keep the ccp under190 max.

When I set BB calculator up for your original post numbers, I get a ccp of 201 when I switch to a 5G. My ccp is 195 and I rarely use releases, but it is an '09. The newer starters are stronger. I wouldn't be afraid of up to 200 with releases. Why don't you advance the cam thats in your bike 4 degrees. Wouldn't cost much, might be what you want.
I do want to keep the ccp down around 190 so going +4 on my current cams is out. I do want to thanks you guys for the ideas (keep them coming). It's giving me a lot to think about.

You're right. I've just got it in my head I can do better on the bottom with different cams. Besides I feel the need to get my hands dirty. It's been 2 riding seasons since I've been into the motor. I like to try different things.
