a cam won't change jetting much if any. when i did my cam and piston combo i needed to go up on the mainjet about one size. i would just make sure your jetted right now and then check after you mod your engine. its not that difficult to change jets if need be. good luck

Yea you should have to rejet. When you change cams you are letting the valves stay open longer which lets more fuel in. (I think that's right)???

It's possible

Well when I put the cam/airbox mod/silencer end cap in on my bike I went from a 118 to a 185 main. So yes you will have to rejet. If it doesn't make enough difference to rejet you probably aren't going to see a whole lot of power increase either.
