I heard good about his cams just ordered a 580 for my 80" evo cam change to roller rockers and evo lifters have to space my valves yet so no help. this set up will be 530 lift when its done.

I ran one in a 88" shovel. 4.25" stroke and 3.625" bore. I was running dual plugged heads done by Riverside Cycle and Machine in CT with J&E Pistons, with about !0:1 static compression and a SU carb....I ran this on a light bike in a 57 pan frame with a Rivera Primary Drive and a 24/48 sprocket combo...with a 23/49 this bike bulled hard and ran like a rocket.  I like them. I would give Dave a call and pick his brain about what you want it to do and go from there. I am thinking about sending him a set of heads to do and build another motor like this again.....
