I have the "sxs540 cam" which is the same as the 8/06 cam, in my 540. I have felt no loss on the bottom, but it has become an animal between 1/2 and 3/4 throttle. It just feels so strong, you can actually feel the cam working, almost like a powerband kicking in. I have the IRS and I think a 540 kit with this cam really makes this machine extremely competative.

That is the exact same setup I was going to do this past winter but decided on not spending the cash. Roughhousecycle recommended the setup with the stock compression instead of the 12.5:1 simply to guarantee the use of premium gas w/o any issues. I had the 8/06 cam in hand but ended up selling it off. I think I will actually be doing it over the winter after I get the shocks rebuilt. Let us know the numbers (althought they really mean nothing) just so we can see the benefits of the cam and bbk.
