Mechanically, the rest of the engine on my 97 Softail Custom is stock 1340 Evolution.
Add-ons are Thunderheader, SE programmable ignition, and I have converted bike to single fire. It still has stock, but re-jetted, CV carb.

Hoping to find/get some feedback and/or opinions on using this cam in my 97 FXSTC.

In a perfect world, I'd like to find some cheap, used heads and have them freshened up, nice valve job, re-surfaced for more compression, and probably mildly ported.

Realistically, I'd probably swap the cam in and do the heads whenever I could get the time/extra cash to do so.

Curious if this would be a bad idea, or not.

I ride the bike kind of hard, but really don't want to give up the low rpm power it already has, as-is.

Here's the only link to it's specs that I could find:

I'm no expert on cams at all and it's difficult to read those specs you provided on my iPhone but the intake valve closing so late and the duration seems like it would hurt you on the low end if you aren't doing the headwork and cam at the same time. I like the Andrews EV27 grind if you just want a good bolt in cam and rejet your carb until you have enough $$$ to do heads, cam, carb ect.

 

Thanks for the reply.

Anyone else?

 

Try reposting in the softail section. I think you'll get a little more input there.

 

Will do. Thanks.
