Default putting a cam in, is it worth it?

i was curious as to if putting a web cam in my vinson will really help the proformance. it is gonna be 253$ because i dont want to get rid of my origional cam for a cam core charge, which is understandable because i dont know how the new cam is going to be. any insight on how much power gains i should expect, are wheelies possible easier now?

v581

ps i have all the things in my sig so the cam isnt on a stock bike.

The right cam will be a night and day difference. You have to get the cam for the power curve you want, though. I have a bottum end cam and it pulls hard but doesn't rev out very far. The same can happen opposite, alot of rev but no pull. Talk to Web and see if you are getting the right one.

The only reason I ask is that they don't require a core......
