    What are the specs on the cam you are putting in? It must not be to large, as you are not changing the lifter to slow bleed. Are you changing the springs?

    No mater which cam you run, you will need low bleed lifters. The only cam that will work with the stock valve springs is the Mopar Performance cam used in the Comp Coupe, its a 708 grind used in the 1996-1999 Vipers with
    the cam pin relocated to work for a Gen 3.

    I ride a Ducati Multistrada that I have highly modified, Great fun.

    Awesome! I've got the previously mentioned 999, an 1198, and a Monster 1200S at the moment. I've been toying with the idea of adding a Honda Africa Twin to the garage to do a little more touring/ripping around on trails.

    No idea at the moment. I do know I want a super choppy/lumpy idle exhaust like how 345sbspinnin's car sounds. I think if I spent the money to do a heads and cam and it sounded too smooth I would be a bit disppointed. The car is already loud with the ARH headers and corsa catback which I like. I just really want that old school muscle car lope. Well that and north of 600 RWHP.

    You've also gotta love the Italian sensibilities for naming cars and bikes.

    What are we going to call our new touring bike? We'll call it the many road bike. Multistrada.

    The new super light version of one? We'll just it superlight. Superleggera.

    So you will have to pull the heads to change the lifters!

    I didn't go this route. I left the heads on.

    wussy cam => stock springs => stock lifters => no need to pull heads

    I know. I have read about people fishing the lifters and retaining bars out with magnets and swivel extensions. Not sure I want to try that though.

    So I might go whole hog on it and get heads done as well.
