2005 tc 88 ultra
what is a good cam to wake this thing up a little ?? it runs good and pulls strong but want just a little more without loosing my 41.75 mpg. low to mid range . all stock except 4" v&h slash cuts, stage 1 a/c with the dealer tune .

thanks mike

 

Andrews 21s. If you go to the 21Ns, you can install the newer 96"-type cam plate w/hydraulic tensioners.

 

I already installed the SE upgraded plate , pump , chain , and hyd tensioners , to get rid of the spring type tensioners two years ago , if that is what you are talking about , it was that pretty orange plate.

I've got S&S 510's in my 88" Softail and it runs like a scalded dog.

 

I just can't say enough good things about the Andrews 21 also.
Pulls hard down low and all the way through your normal riding RPMS.
Great everyday power cam puts the power right where you ride 95% of the time.

My milage stayed the same for the most part. Expect for the extra wrist twisting I was doing!

 

are they the same lift or do I need different push rods ?? (can I use the original push rods,), and do I really have to buy a tuner ? or will it run ok without one

You should add a tuner right now and complete your Stage 1 before thinking about cams. There's no point in installing performance cams without a tuner. You can use stock pushrods with any cam that has stock lobe bases. FuelMoto can set you up with a tuner w/pre-loaded map. Andrews tech support can help you choose the right cam.

 

hard to beat either an Andrews 21 or 26 for good low - mid TQ.. and they are easy on your top end..

I went with the 26's on my 96''and really like them.. lots of 88''er owners like the 21's over the 26's a little bit more..???

Either will do you a great job..

of course their are others. mostly you will want to stay under 35 I. C. intake close for good low -mid TQ.

 

I don't know a damn thing about cams. But if I only got 41.75 on my 96 cube TC E-Glide I would wonder WTF had happened.

 

what mpg you get ???
