I'd expect something around 170whp with the drop in cams, a good solid wide torque curve 170 that's very usable power.
Sweeten the pot . . . Lush "street" cams

I'd pay money to see someone do that on a Rocket .

Yes, when I was younger and was dirt bike riding, big jumps and wheel stands were the order of the day.
Then we moved onto Road bikes, no more jumps, but certainly Wheel stands and slides continued
Had to watch out for those darn Cops tho' aye Steve.

I likey the old Bell helmet - looks like the current Bell Bullitt replica.
Evel could wheelie the heck outta those old Trumpets!
A couple times, I watched him wheelie for about a 100 meters then turn around and return, all the way with the front airborne.

We've all watched that power slide video. I wonder if there was track prep to make that a little easier. Baby powder on pavement makes things a little slicker.
My roadster just don't spin. Maybe it's a weight thing? I'm sure I outweigh Kevin Carmichael by a couple pounds. (Hundred)

Once you've got molten rubber, all you need is to maintain it .... and ride it.

I've been getting a lot of wheel spin from my Classic since I've put the CF rims on it. Even though the tires look new, they are about 8 years old, and I guess the rubber is hard. I've been playing with it and it's getting really fun. A couple of friends and I were leaving a bar a couple of weeks ago. I got out first and once I was straight jumped on the throttle, causing the rear tire to spin and drift right. Well the road turns right, so I leaned right as I caught 2nd, and the rear drifted left through the turn. Once the road was fairly straight, I grabbed 3rd and shifted my weight back and forth a couple of times, making the rear do a right left right left dance until the tire stopped spinning somewhere toward the end of 3rd. They couldn't stop talking about it for a week after. One said I knew it had power, but that's way more than I'd ever want in a bike. I smiled and said, just remember that's my slow one.

Alright, someone asked, "Do you know what performance you currently have with the bike (before adding the cams)?"
No, I don't know.
To that end, I have an appointment for Tuesday morning with the tuner to run a baseline as she sits, and should appear at RAA in Stearns, KY.
