^^big valve adjustment & timing... if it were just drop and go, I don't think you'd gain anything... in other words, you need to adjust your timing & valves if you want gains, or just to make it work in the first place.

If you are going to mix AP1 and AP2 cams you need to be able to tune fuel. I have some data on this I plan on putting in the post. Even better is to also have gears. The short story is that as of right now, excluding Hytech products, the AP1 IN and AP2 EX cam with gears is one of the better combinations and will maintain stock reliability.

It's going to take me awhile to get to updating my post. I work in the heart of the financial services industry and my anyone that watches the news can figure out we are a fighting for survival right now.

Just did an AP1 intake cam swap in my AP2... don't really feel a difference altho clutch is slipping pretty good at this point lol.

The biggest gain ive heard about doing this is that when you raise the rev limiter on a stock AP2, power begins to die off after factory rev limiter. Where as with the AP1 intake cam swap, the power keeps climbing.
