djl, No money? I just spent well over 3k. Who says I don't have money just because I'd rather not spend an absurd amount on motor work? I understand money and not to spend much of my discretionary income. Maybe I'm frugal. But either way I wanted a faster bike and unlike most people, I'll drag race anyone in or on almost anything because that's what I do. I've spent years at the strip and continue to do so. I'll gladly race anything in my 1990 Vette as well. Definitely not my SUV because I never punch it to redline as there is no point for me.

I'm just curious if you have a radio on your bike, and if not, I thought you couldn't live without your radio.

Well because drag racing can bust **** for one and you're gonna have to do way better than those 777s in a stock 103 if you want to actually finish the same day as the guy next to you. You couldn't even keep up with me and I'm not a drag racer except for smokin' bikes like yours on the street! That 99hp just ain't gonna get it done.
You can probably say goodbye to your crank the first time you try launching at 5000rpm.

Never said you don't have money. Your words from your post #4:
"I only have the money for one of the two options"

sounds a little, maybe, not sure though like funds are limited. Yet you want to drag race, whenever given the opportunity, with whichever build option you choose. My last post was a nice way of saying; that's just dumb because, even being frugal, you don't have the funds to rebuild that motor when when it ***** the bed, and it will **** the bed.

There's no place for frugal in drag racing. Gotta pay if ya wanna play.

Option 1 - wood 555 cams

Option 2 - wood 777 cams & SE 10.5:1 compression pistons (cams may also come in handy if I ever decide to go to a 110).

What do you think? Any suggestions? Dyno sheets? Similar setups.

Thank you
Deleted... Saw your other thread.. Sorry but You've been given some good advice that you didn't listen to...
