Well i guess no one lol. My 60mm throttle body came in. My maverick intake should be here monday and im ordering THEBOM cams this coming up thursday. Hopefully if i dont fudge anything up then in a couple weeks she should be a runner. Hopefully the machined 2ndary will handle it till i can get the stm. Gonna call /// and get him to send me a stall spring for 27-2800. Does anyone know if the $250 timing tool is required, if so would it be best to order THEBOM 800 cams and then just buy the 800 cam sprockets to avoid the tool all together

I would certainly think you should be able to run stock sprockets and chains with your new cams like one can with the MrRPM cams. The factory BRP sprockets should never wear, and the replacement 800 chains that BRP redesigned in 2008 took care of the 06&07 chain that overstretched.
That $250 tool scares me tho. What is it? All I know of is 2 tools ...the bolt to index your crankshaft to install and time the first cylinder, then you turn crank to the timing mark (with crankshaft sensor removed) for second cylinder cam timing....the second tool is simply a fancy indexer to locate the cam correctly, but is not needed. When your crank is Indexed for a cylinder, that corresponding cam sprocket indexing line will be parallel with the valve cover mating surface.
IMO, the $250 timing tool is actually a $.50 bolt with the tip ground down to index your first cylinder.....I think I have posted a pic on here of some tools I use, both I mentioned are in it I believe

The tool is something specific for the 1000 only. Thebom will loan me the tool for 232 and refund it all once i ship it back. I cant even find a pic of the the tool. But thebom has different cams for the 800 and 1000 unlike mrrpm. 800 cams will work in a 1000 as long as you have the 800 sprocket. Im eventually goin to get the hc pistons and maverick heads as well. But thebom claims the 1000 sprocket is better then the 800 set up. So i dont know
