installed the cams and head gasket this weekend. quick ride around town with a blank map to try and get the fueling rich enough to be safe for a longer ride to start building a map. even lean, this thing rips! climbs the rear tire in second gear to the point i had to back off the throttle a hair to keep it from looping.
starting compression was 205psi right cyl and 209 left cyl. after the thin head gasket it bumped to 210 psi right cyl and 212 psi left bank.
got the cams shimmed up nice and uniform. i have been very pleased with how this engine is responding to bolt on parts. even with a stock head it is running much better with the work i have done. i'll try to get a few rides in this week to build some of the map, then a longer ride Saturday. we have an extra day this year due to leap year, and i have to work. cannot complain as i maybe work two Saturdays a year.

you will see the jumper cables, when i ran the compression testing, i jumped battery power to the starter to prevent having to cycle the key on and then log faults with sensors unplugged.

and my helper was caught taking a break. good help can be hard to find.
