    Default Cam swap, tune needed?

    Hey all, thinking of getting the XP cam for my Bonneville, currently i have a shelf tune from intense.

    In theory you'd just need the idle bumped up.

    Bob...what year Bonne?

    You'll need to pull the P0300 code for the cam and that's about all that is required. If you like lope, stock idle will probably work well. Although it would be easier on the chain dampner if you bump it a 100-200 rpm at idle.


    If Dave feels 60% throttle is 100%, what does he tell his wife.

    As seen in signature, I'd lower the idle LOL.
