what extra work you think this mod would make?

I see they say HD springs, but you think, re-jetting? or what else?

 It probably should be degreed with a wheel. Be sure to use assembly lube on the lobes and rockers. A head port job would maximize the benefit.

I agree with the above assessment. If you want to maximize the potential with that cam, port the head for sure. Degreeing is a must and I would personally not do it without HD springs. What are you looking to accoplish with getting the cam? If it is a daily rider and you don't want to spend the time or money on springs, porting, extra displacement, I think you would be better off getting a more mild cam. Such as like .360 lift and between 270-280 degrees duration. Let us know what your goals are.

I think the general consensus you will find on here is its better to spend money cleaning up the ports and combustion chambers to improve flow rather than add cams. If your gonna add a cam to a stock engine chances are your gonna be into a little jetting. like up 2 or 3 main jet sizes and lower the clip position on the needles
