    Was thinking of doing the Daytona cam swap but was unsure of what to expect. One report I saw talked about no change until 7 - 7500 rpm then it really  kicked in. I don`t tend to redline my bikes to get the most out of them, more enjoy the mid to upper midrange grunt. Would the cams work for me?

    Does anyone have before/after dyno results?

    Yes I've done it, although slightly reground. They are too big to give low & mid range power it's from 6000rpm & up that they "take off" and still climbing in power at 9900rpm, I got 139hp at the rev limiter. I'm about to go back to the cam grinder & ask their advise & if they can regrind to give me more and wider mid range, I'm not worried about the top end the middle is where the fun is.
    One day I will die, Trouble is, I won't be able to press restart and play the game again!!!!!

    It's all good. I've decided to leave well enough alone. Works well for me just the way it is.
