best bet is to hit the dyno for some tuning. kinda hard to butt dyno cam adjustments.
they are better for dohcs. they'll just move the powerband around to your tastes on a sohc.

I second that. I'd never use one on a SOHC, but it's worth it on DOHC. As far as tuning; What comes out of your butt? ****. A dyno? tuning. Put it together... Butt Dyno = **** Tuning.
