Default 203 Cam
I am going to have my 2004 Electraglide in the shop having the cam chain guides replaced and was thinking about putting in a new cam. the guy I use suggested a 203 but I have no idea what any of that means. Any advise would be great.

We'd lean in the direction of an Andrews 21 or an S&S .509.

Not a bad little cam but there are several others that would be better. Andrews 21 or S&S 509 would work well. The '04 valve springs limit cam lift to .510" and the heads don't flow much past .400" lift so, higher lift wouldn't help much anyway.

Scott was typing fasters; I am all thumbs!

S&S 509 would be the hot rod pick.
