The cams are Web 109's with shim under buckets in a Cope ported head with oversized valves. It starts easy with a 10-40 ignition advancer and runs on 93 octane with no pinging under load. It is tolerant of moderate stop and go and will idle at 1000rpm, no problem. Heat's never a problem as long as I'm moving, I installed an oil cooler and digital oil temperature gauge that typically reads 200-220F. I go on all day group rides and don't think twice about it (as long as I got my tool kit). ;)
