I would guess most all the performance parts were engineered for the old style GX390s, not the new one. I looked at that cam too but not sure, however NR has been nice about answering questions when I asked via email. Since the cams are mostly for carts or mowers I would want to know the powerband rpm and so on. I figure I would just get VCs cheater cam its cheap, get a rod in and run that for the time being and see how it works. The larger cams require typically all new valvetrain as well. I'm not really sure how the cam would work in my cart mostly, with the CVT, is why I would hesitate. Certainly a TQ cam or marine would likely be better in a cart, most of the race cams are big rpm.

Yeah honda pretty much trashed aftermarket use of their v twin as well.
