ah, so really, i'd be better off with a 69-71 cam then. i just cant spend the money on a new megacycle or other aftermarket cam right now.

I would question the wisdom of any larger than .360" lift cam in a stock head, the flow just isn't there. You may be surprised at how quickly (lift wise) these heads stop flowing with even the best port jobs.  :-[  
My experience is that long duration cams (over 250 @ .040) makes a sloppy around-town ride with even a 10:1 motor. They have lots of power when turned at big rpm, but suck riding between stop lights.
 
It's all a compromise, so target for your personal fun zone.



My CB 750 K6-77 have a ported cylinder head which gave a huge difference.
This was the first meaure when modifying the CB750's here in Sweden during the 70's and first half of 80's
Together with more modifications, the most common ones I suppose

RC 836cc pistons adapted to the chambers of the ported head.
Later replaced by stock Actions Fours 836cc pistons (with less compression) when the RC's got burned.

Cam:  Action Fours SS-1, which I have plans to replace with a RC 315 replica, a hotter cam when the SS-1 is very moderate.(Lift: .360 , duration:  270 )
F2 inlet valves and new springs.
Lightened alternator

The engine is night and day compared with an original CB750 .. and the sound too !!

I have had my CB 750 in a barn since 1990 and I have found a lot of goodies for my bike which will get a huge overhaul starting this winter.
Nice too see that a lot of people still like the CB750 and in the way I liked it from 1979 to mid 80's.!

I have also found a Yoshimura 4-1 replica, which I gave up to purchase for long time ago. Order next week if in stock.
There is a lot of goodies to order from US.

Here is a nice link for the old cams and other CB750 stuff.
