Ok, just won (and paid for) the pro-series cams on eBay. Anyone put these in themselves? Just looking for "heads up" info before i dig into this. I have the service manual, tools, and more than one brain cell. I just need to order the gasket kits before I yell "BONZAI" and "HAVE AT THEE YE SCURVY DOG!" any tips, tricks, and "golly, that would have been nice to know" will be appreciated! | ||

Only one thing you might consider is swapping over to Sportster style pushrod covers and adjustable pushrods.It will save you from pulling any part of the head apart for the cam change. You will also have to cut the stock ones off (or pull the head, which would negate having purchased the new covers and rods).The kit is available from NRHS, but its going to be over $100 bucks for it (I think). | ||

I'm thinking about buying the Performance cams. Anybody know how much more HP and torque is gained in mid-range? | ||

Just a couple hp - honestly, however, your torque number should rise to equal your HP and it all happens very low in the power band peaking past your stock limiter and springs, guides and seals - yet that garrentees a nice delivery of the added power it does give, and really helps the engine breath and function much more efficiently - definately a nice bonus for a stock Blast motor!

Once i get my bike back on the road, i'll get it dyno'd, i wantto see what it will do  Unfortunately, i couldn't get the SE ignitin module for the blast that was on eBay this week, the bidding just went way too high for me  With stock ignition, i think my blast will be kinda inhibited...we'll see... | ||

You know if you go over 6800 rpm- which is the edge for stock springs, guides, and seals bad things will happen, therefore, I gather you are looking forward to some head upgrades as well? GT - JBOTDS! EZ | ||

Yup, eventually, i'll go the whole Nallin route...but due to financial concerns, (i'm basicly broke lol)I'm doin this one bit at a time...Although..i think i can get some 7000 rpm valve springs pretty easy... | ||

Thanks EZ I went ahead and ordered the new Screamin Eagle XL '04 cams (XB grind). I kept the stock cylinder and overbored it .015 and used a matching XB piston to go with the XB head. I wont even think about changing carbs unless I get convinced that it will make a huge difference (more worth than it is trouble).However, mating it to an accelerator pump, if possible, might happen. If I'd realized I'd be using an XB grind, I probably would have left the XB head stock! | ||

Naw - with the upgrades the head will be more durable and you'll get more power out of it than the stock XB head - just more to enjoy - besides then you'll hear the headwork from the heavy duty springs, etc. - its a really cool sound and counters the motors' Baratone nicely. GT - JBOTDS! EZ | ||

Dyno run showing a 1 and some change HP increase with the install of the Pro-Serires Cams. Feels like alot more more to me.  Jardine Exhaust,ProSeriesIntake,ProSeries Cams, and the ProSeries Spark Plug. Had the shop do the install now off to the races. |
