AS far as the EV46 goes. I did waver back and forth on whether or not to use it. My reservation is based on experience as I have another evo(dyna) with a EV5 cam and a super "G" carb. Power out the whazoo but the vibration tears the bike apart, it's a real bone shaker!! BTW, it did 11:23 at 127mph in the quarter mile. Great bar hopper but you dont want to take a long trip on it...trust me I have.
One the other had the Heritage is a bit more a touring bike and I simply want to have a bit more humpf when doing expressway riding. NOthing worse then hitting the throttle and waiting for a response. I have a buddy that runs the EV3 and simular mods to wjhat I am planning and his bikes rocks. And what the hell. cam change is easy. I may wind up installting an EV46 after all. Hmm, It now comes to mind that I have a spare EV5 cam .
Mr Cody, what do you think of the EV5?

Well the bike can move judging by the 127MPH but I think you need to run it more and get used to racing as 127MPH should be more like a 10.25 or so. How was your 60 and RT? I would love ot see that sucker run as well. I had a chopper that did a 10.50 at 117 but my 60 sucked as it wouldn't hook up. We have test and tunes at the tracks in Cali on the weekends and I am planning on taking the bagger up in April and would be happy with an 11.50 or so...

But do pay attention to the Base gaskets. James Gaskets work much better than stock.
80,000+ miles on my Electra-Glide and still lifts the front end in two gears. Behaves well around town.

Be careful, the performance bug bites hard.A little taste of it makes you want more.So many have tried to go a little at a time,the aftermarket loves it.Mine started with 45ci has now swelled to almost 4 times that.

if you've got a bone stock 94 evo then the simple stuff would get you on the right track. exhaust, air cleaner, and carb hop up. that would help. it's a big bang for the buck for now. it'll give you time to consider other things to do during the upcoming winter.

and branch flowmetrics, used to be jerry branches brainchild, still builds some killer heads for evos. that along with a cam, and you'd be doing just fine. that would not break the bank, but give you better torque and hp.

this thread is great seeing as my engine is getting pulled this winter. i have a s&s supper e carb, s&s intake and my shorty open pipes and i think its an absolute dog!! the pipes do nothing for me. i was gonna try getting torque cones but i think when the engine comes out im just gonna get a 2 into 1. but the cam is def getting changed, i just wasnt sure what i wanted. this is going to be a bar hopping street machine. well thats the plan any ways. i want a real radical cam but not to much that im going to break stuff. i want at least 120hp and 120ft/lbs. what cam do you recomend? if i dont get the numbers i want i am going to spray this thing with a 20 shot and hope for the best!!!lol
