Add to your list for consideration the Screamin Eagle Hybrid Cam Plate Kit- it gives you the hydraulic tensioners and new oil pump and allows you the wide choice of 99-2006 cams (except Dyna) . Andrews N "conversion cam " require you to use the late model cam plate with a "conversion cam " which only Andrews is making. Both are good choices and both have pros and cons and both give you the late model oil pump and hydraulic tensioners.

Old thread; new info.

Just got back from a long trip (solo) and got to do a top end run out on the interstate. I can tell you with certainty, with TW26 ANdrews cams on the 02 RK, there is no top end loss, the bike has a much better top end than it did with stock cams. Top end speed improved and actually had throttle response at 90+ mph highway speed. Never pushed it past 105mph but could have. Did the same thing, before the 26s but with the PCIII, on a Nebraska Hiway and COULD NOT hit 100 flat out, flat and level stretch of road, no wind. Sorry, no numbers, no science, no graphs, just a great response and top end experence.

I dont run at those speeds but did get to open 'er up for a hundred or so miles on I44 on a Sunday morning with no wind, no traffic and I could see the road ahead for miles (it was fawkin awsome).

Howz about my other cam head friends (you know who you are)...... more top end over stock with your torque monster cams?

I am waiting to get tuned although she is running strong and I am about 200 rpm higher @80mph running about 3400. I dont feel any top end loss just gets there quicker! Bike loves 80mph and no down shift to pass! Love the HQ34's
