I am looking at doing cams in my 96. I have a sest with rhinehart 2-2 and a rsd venturi a/c. I want more jam in mid and while riding. I called 4 dealers to ask opinion. 2 of them say a se203 cam will be what you want and them 2 say if your going to do something do se heads and cams. One dealer recommended redshift 575 cams. Guys who have been through this please help. One guy says a 203 will be less noticeable than my stage one. How good are redshift? Are 203 worth it?

 

You could go either way on this subject as if you have the cams out of the bike already you might as well do a 95 kit, but it really all comes down to what you want out of your bike and how much you have to spend. I assume you will be having a shop do the install for you? Tell us what you want out of your bike. More low end grunt? More power for 2 up riding? This could go any way.

 

I went with Cycle-Rama CR575 cams in my 07 Road King Police. Great TQ in the 2400-4500 range. There are lots of other choices and opinions. This is just one option.

 

I am looking for more all around but specifically mid for getting up to speed and some 2 up. I am looking at doing it myself. I have been an auto mechanic for 15 years. And i have a manual. More power but as long as its reliable

 

If you're asking for cams for that 08 Deluxe, there is no 203. The last year model the 203's work in is 2006 (except Dyna's).

I'd look at something like a TMan 525, HQ-500 or something along those lines. Both of those will work well @ stock compression ratio (better with bump in compression).

 

I did the Andrews 37's and I really like them, you should also look into a 30T front pulley, the 32/66 gearing is too tall.

 

This is what I'm going with. https://www.hdforums.com/forum/touri...no-charts.html. I've dealt with them before and trust them completely as well as the dyno sheet they've posted.

 

PhilM, they did make them in the new style, I had a set. Less than impressive results, probably why they stopped making them.
Andrews 54h's work great, but I would want to try advancing 4 degrees on a stock set up. Mike

 

Given your experience, you can definitely do it yourself. Cam choice depends on funds and what you want in terms of performance. You will notice the diff with cams only, like Andrews 26 in your 96". Big bore kit to a 103" or ? is the next step then headwork. If you go that route then the cam choice would change. Again, depends on what you want and can afford. Also, a 2n1 also adds to the numbers.

This should help with the install:

Wood 6, Andrews 37, with a 4* advance gear would be a great choice.
