Putting a intake cam

[mikev7]

What kind of power gains will this yield? Will the engine suffer from overheating?

Depends on the bike and where you degree the cams in at.

I'd say 5hp +/- a few.

I don't see why your bike would run any hotter, well hot enough for you to notice a change.

Are you sure you want to change your overlap?

It's up to you.

What are the downsides of changing the overlap?

I saw a place that sells stock factory intake cams for like 200 or so dollas. A set of after market can cost 1000 dollas.

Not me, brother. I wouldn't do it.

Personally, I'd spring for some Webs, or another custom grind cam set.

Buy a Web 378 for intake and then throw your old intake on exhaust with some Carpenter 60# springs. Works great - tons of people have done it for years with no probs. That's what I'm running in my 1397.
