    I noticed that off the line it did have some really good torque. I guess different cams would be in order to really let it breathe.

    Motor arrived (PICS).

    Motor looks great! Just wanted to say watch out for that Power Force balancer. The numbers will rub off!!!!!! I got grease on mine and the nubers wiped off with the grease. It doesn't have indentions so when they are gone they are gone.
