Ok here's my situation. Hope you guys can help me make a better educated decision. I have a stage 3 hot cam. Got it really cheap from my dealer. Been reading alot of threads about how to get more power on the cheap. I was thinking about just dropping this cam in and getting a map from EHS for my bullit box(dobeck) programmer. Eric has tested the cam with a big 3 bike and gained 5 hp up top. Now i'm not sure how this will affect the bottom end of the power curve though? I want a even power curve. Much like it is with the big 3 but pull harder.I would have no problem dropping in a 11:1.1 CP piston, but thats gonna cost me quite a bit more money. My question is... do i really need the piston? Will it be worth all the extra money by just going from 10:1.1 to 11:1.1? I have talked to several of the best engine guru's on here and they seem to have different opinion's on the matter. What do you guys think? I got the stage 3 cam for $135 and Eric already has a map for it. So i'm not sure if i should just drop in the cam or wait til i have the money for the piston and maybe some port work? 
Oh and please don't turn this into a hot cam vs. webb cam thread. :thanks:
