Default Zippers Cams

Anyone using Zippers 575 cams in thier Ultra? I am thinking about putting them in. I have Andrews "B" grind in my shovel and have always loved the Andrews cams but Zippers is close to me and thought I would give them a try.

You can get the same power from a Bob Wood 6. .510 lift.
That's one of the reasons we use those.

We had a customer that had that cam in a 103 and the out putdown low was poor the upper was ok but overall not a good streetable cam with the 9.7.1 compression, so with stock compression it would be worse. Swapped it out for a andrews 54 power was up, cam noise gone. Much much more low end power. With the amount of cams out today the selection is so large you can choose a cam that will fit your riding style. No need to by a cam that will be a so-so cam for your needs. The woods line is impressive, as is the andrews line of cam. The 117 that we just finished has the woods 9b in it and power is on tap from the low rpm range , pulls out very nice. Set it at 10.7 compression.

If you are a fan of Andrews, then I suggest the 54 as it is specifically engineeredtowards baggers and will give you the grunt down low in the RPM range. Other good suggestions are the HQ500 and the Woods TW6. Both will work well with increased compression up to about 10.2:1

I just had the Zippers 575 cam installed not even 300 miles on it....
Zippers was all over it saying how it "wakes up" the 96 stocker. So- I had this cam put in, and my local indy recommeded it over a wood cam- go figure.

So i wonder now, how the Zippers cam compares to the cam HD wrench spoke about?

So far the cam works well - pulls with my friends 107 EVO and his motor aint stock; i do have more valve train noise which is more noticable than stock which is not what I was after.
