Sorry! Didn't mean to hijack!

I didn't think about what forum I was in; I know better. Sorry, and BTW I REALLY DON'T want to overthrow anything!

at what RPM range?

some of us tend to street our bikes more and could use a mid range grunt more than 7k+ if yours is high end.

Did you notice a difference in mileage also?

For a street bike you will find more usable power with the cams around 104-106 on the intake & 106-108 on the exhaust. Advancing the cams in this manner will produce more bottom end & midrange, as in where a street bike spends most of it's life. It is extremely IMPORTANT to check piston to valve clearance no matter where you put the cams! Ray.
