i have an S&S 97 kit with 583s and hillside head work done. Torque down low is good. When I had the heads done i could feel it pull a lot more around 4K and above. No dyno tune yet but I know there's a lot on the table still.

As far as 510 to 583, you will move the torque curve to the left but I don't think it's worth it cost wise.

You will get a lot of opinions on the 583s. I have them and love them but I'm looking to switch to 570s later. Post your questions in the Engine Mechanical section and let the builder and shops chime in.

If your compression is around 10-1, I'd recommend a RedShift 527. Very close to 37 with more lift and little less timing.

Doesn't the 527 have too much lift for a stock 03 head?

Yeah, would have to change valve springs.

I saw you mentioned the 583's,I figured new springs were in the mix.

Hey bud, I'm gonna be at 10.4 to 1, do you know a good cam choice for that compression. The site I purchased my bore kit from said that the compression was 9.8 to 1 so I planned on the 583's and was dead set on using them and then I find out the compression is 10.4 to 1 and S&S tech guy said that cam won't work with that compression, I asked him what the ratio needs to be for the 583's and he never answered me. Would you by chance know?

They're good up to 10:1. At 10.4:1, if you want S&S, you should go with the 585. Both the 585 and 583 you would have to do valve springs, didn't realize you were doing that as well. Andrews 67N would be a good one as well.

The S&S 570 would be another choice.
