I just went FULL MONTY on my '23 SCRAM! The performance upgrade includes the Kent Cam Stage 2 performance cam shaft from Hitchcock's, the DNA air filter, the FUEL X PRO+ and a funky, retro-looking slip on exhaust (pic attached) from an Indian outfit called Vardenchi. I also wrapped my pipe in black to boost the BLAZE factor.
About 4 hours of work at my guy George's shop, Cavalier Customs, here in Brooklyn NY. Gotta give my man a shout-out for making time on a Sunday!
First impressions: I can definitely feel a bit more giddy up in the low to mid-range. I'll try to get in a ride up the Palisades after work to really get a feel for it's top end improvements (if any) and report back.
That said, my spedo is broken at the moment
so an "accurate" (RE OEM module) won't be recorded. Of course I've noticed that the Google Maps speed displayed on my phone clocks in about 5++mph SLOWER than what the bike used to tell me so I reckon it's likely gonna be as accurate as it gets. Stock max speed to date has been 82-83 (down grade).
I'm still getting used to the new exhaust notes... It is deep with a LOT MORE BASS (which I love). My only concern is it might be a little TOO LOUD? for my taste. I'll be getting a friend's opinion the next time we mount up.
I also wanted to thank the guys on this forum for the sound advice they've given me in the past! Shortly after I got the bike I was already looking to boost its performance but I was advised to really get to KNOW the bike, give the engine a chance to loosen up (that old RE break-in factor), etc. and I'm glad I did. I feel like NOW, 8 months old and 5K miles in was the right time to give the bike a boost.
Cheers guys and ride safe!
