    I bought a TE449 recently, and it had an Akrapovic full exhaust, race map 2. I installed an oil recirculation kit, PCV, and 17" wheels. With ZipTy's map it runs much better.

    I saw a set of TC449 cams on eBay and bought them. Also I found a 511 piston and cylinder in excellent shape. The plan was to wait a year and install them, along with an Autotune module. Maybe also clean up the intake ports and tighten the squish if there is room.

    I had assumed that the TC cams were hotter in the typical way, with greater lift and duration, more overlap. But some reading here suggests that they might be the opposite, or some combination. Does anyone have the specs for the TC cams, or better yet, specs for both TC and TE cams, to compare?

    Thanks,

    Hi Dean

    Just reading you post.
    Did you end up doing the mods?

    No, I haven't. The parts are sitting on the shelf for a future project. The bike is a lot of fun as it is. Someday I will measure both cams myself and post the info. -Dean
