Been looking around for some slightly larger cams for my Superbike. Found these on Ebay!!!

Do you think I might have over did it???????



Think I might have to remove the "X"'s on the inside of my valve cover.

Ha! You might have to use "open air" cam covers!!!

You may want to check valve to crankshaft clearance, too.

What in the world are those?

Not much of a ramp either. The opening and closing rates must be pretty astonishing.
