HELP,
I need some advice on cam choice?
I have a FI, 2000 RK, Stock TC-88, stock heads ,3.5 Rinehart true duals, Arlen Ness big sucker.
I dont ride 2-up very often, and i rarely see over 5000rpm.
like to stay with a cam only for now.
Since the crane 300 is not around (why)?
Andrews 26,37 ?
S&S 509, 510 ?
SE 203, 204 ?
Any help would be AWESOME!!!!

 

Set compression at 9.8-1& go with S&S.583's

 

cam only andrews 26

 

Woods 6 ..... 9.8--10.0 comp

 

I'd go with some S&S 510G cams. I had them in my 2002 RKC and loved them. If you don't know "G" is for gear drive.

If you plan on moving up to a 95" engine, go with the 570G cams.

 

Cam only upgrade?? Toss up between the Andrews 26 and the S&S 509; forget the others. If fuel injected, you will need fuel management system and dyno tune to optimize the performance.

If going beyond a cam only upgrade, take Kirby's advice.

 

Thanks Djl,
whats more cost effective steppin up to a 95
or cam only or both ?
Who`s Kirby ?

 

Bore to 98"
Andrews 57's
Set compression @ 9.9.
HUGE torque, and generally peaking at 3500-3700 rpms.
Nice quiet, cool running, combo.

67rayson,im Kirby (prodrag1320).I really don't like "cam only" builds.not that everyone wants a firebreathing monster,even a VERY mild touring build can have much more by simply matching compression to a given cam.sure the 26,59 or 48 will work with stock compression,your leaving so much on the table by not just bumping the compression a bit and using a cam set that will yield much more of the power your looking for (at the RPM range you ride in)

 

what is a typical bore job cost?
how do i achieve the 9.8 comp required ?
thanks Kirby!
