I really do want to see where you end up with that exhaust. I have the same thing sitting here yet and love the sound. I like the Pro Streets too tho.
If should be a minimum of 216 psi.

From FM Cam shootout...

The WM8-777XE is somewhat unique among this group as it was designed as max effort bolt-in. This pattern is quite a bit different than the others. The 777XE made the most horsepower by a pretty wide margin, but it also made the least amount of peak torque. The curve is also the flattest & smoothest of the test. Low RPM’s are still surprisingly stronger than several of the others, but this combo loves RPM’s.

I said I wanted to be around 210. Ended up a little higher.

So it took him the WM8-222 to the WM8-22X to the WM8-22XE?

Same progress for the WM8-777?

How many did it take for the W8 cams?

That is from NAPA .It has been verified.
Good crankcase venting and better ring seal will do that. You should try it some time. Reed valves are far superior. I don't need to pull my tank and rocker covers if they do go bad either.

On the W8,, Yes.. BTW, The timing on that cam is real close to the timing on a Honda XR200.
