Install it straight up. It should act like a stock cam with a little bit of a boost.
If it ain't wide open; it ain't running.        Rule number one in motocross racing: Pin it; row the gear box; and wait until you hit something.     At work my motto is: If you need me, call someone else.

Oh yeah, it would be smooth as glass!!!  Plenty of low end torque too. Starting about the time you let off the key..   :icon_smile_big:

Heck, if you're going for it. Go for an Engle cam. They aren't much more money and they ship out fast. You will love the smooth idle and MUCH more performance.
