I put them in today and the power increase is unreal if someone would have told me it would be this much power gain I would have called bullshit but its true. I used both the intake and exaust cams I did not advance or retard them just pressed the sprockets on in the factory position and I did not shim the valve springs I measured height and tention on the springs the intake were already at max for height and tention and a little above on the exaust so there was no need for shims and after breakin I have been riding the shit out of it on long straight runs and the valves do not float, with the stock piston there were no piston to valve clearence problems so no need for thick gaskets or cutting the valve pockets and I did not have to reshim the valves the clearences were right on. I hope this helps everyone if there is anything I did not answer just ask.

Darn u!!!!! I wish i could spend a bunch of money for cams, but my dad would say "it's a waste of money and that i could still ride just as fast without them".

No...I got the money...but I'm taking mine to DASA...for the $600 I can get a custom grind AND installed...$400 more for porting and dyno tuned...I was just thinking if they might be the more cost effective way to go...I guess I'm lucky to live in So. Cal. so I have this option...I know alot of guys don't have anything near where they live sooo...they would be best served buying the Yoshi set-up...
Anyways...yes I am taking mine in after the Glamis trip in a couple of weeks... :D
