Choosing cams for TC 103

Choosing cams for TC 103
Hi,
I need some opinions. My current setup is: FXDF 2014 (TC 103), Arlen Ness Inverted Series air cleaner, V&H Pro-Pipe, Power vision (already bought TT and preparing pipes for wideband O2 sensors). I would like to have more low and mid range torque, so I am thinking about S&S 583GE cams (maybe S&S oil pump and cam support plate aswell). Not planning any headwork or compression change (bolt-in cams). Is it a good choice? Thanks.

That cam is more suited for 88 & 96 ci motors, my suggestion would be Andrews 48s or Cycle-Rama 570-2. Save your money as far as the oil pump & cam plate goes, there's nothing wrong with the stock pump & plate for just a simple cam swap. Just replace the inner cam bearings & lifters, S&S lifters would be a good choice.

I have installed the 583 cams in my 2016 heritage. I ride two up most of the time (385 pounds total). I also have the PV target tune. The bike has good low end torque. I really like cams. I very rarely ride over 3k rpms. I can feel the torque difference. I have also installed the S&S lifters (not the high dollar ones), Screamin eagle adjustable push rods,cam plate and oil pump. While I was in the engine I also changed the inner cam bearings.

Short and sweet,
I've been researching this for MONTHS.
I keep coming back to that CR 570-2 cam.
it puts down some pretty impressive numbers.
For my own questions.
Does anyone know if this cam would work with head work ( Hillside) and a .30 head gasket?
and this cam is not offered in gear drive, is this a big deal?

I forgot to mention that I will change lifters to S&S Premium. Also S&S adjustable quickee pushrods and of course inner cam bearings. My crankshaft runout is in specs so I am thinking about gear drive. Andrews and Cycle-Rama does not offer gear drive cams. So S&S oil pump and cam support plate is waste of money?

There are a lot of good cams to choose from, but since it sounds like you're wanting to stick with all S&S parts, the 583 is a good choice for a stock motor. Personally, I'd lean toward chain drive cams in this application, but there's nothing wrong with gears if you're sure your crank is within spec.
