hey guys.. just wondering what cams everyone is using with there 95?? im using these-203s just wondering if there is something a little better... thanks for any info

 

SE-204 on flat tops with the heads done up.. Same cam as the Andrews 37B with a 4 degree advance.
I've been running it for three years, and I'm not interested in anything else. Massive low end, loud as hell, pulls like a freight train to 4,800 and decent mileage without any pre-ignition ever.
I don't know what particular program my dealer is using with my SERT, but it's perfect.

 

would you know the differance between the 203 and 204???

 

There is a lot of difference.
Look up the Nightrider cam charts and it'll give you all of the specs from every available cam.

 

S&S 510g (gear drive) love'em strong and reliable even after 20k great mid range torque. Get rid of the chain!

 

I think you are now seeing that gear drive is the least favorable option now. Lots of gears breaking because of crank run out issues, not to mention the noise from straight cut gears. . It's not worth the risking a gear snapping anymore. You won't have that problem with a chain.


There is a lot of good reading here. You should give yourself an education first. Many things affect the powerband such as valve timing, overlap, LSA and many others. Once you learn the basics, and how they can react to different exhaust systems, you'll be able to pick out a certain cam that will fill your own personal needs.

What is your prob with the 203 cam? I just had my kit installed with the 203 cam. my head builder said it is a good cam. should have my bike back next week.
my build is
95"
203 cams
Bigboyzs street port, milled, c/r.
9:8:1 comp

 

i have no prob with the 203 cams at all..im just sniffing around what others have used

 

Running S&S 585 cams w/ gear drives, CNC ported heads, 2in1 exhaust (thunderheaders)--basically, a Stage III with all components.

I can be heard coming up the road tearing up the highway. I participated in a Dyno shoot (at Motorcycle Madness event in Santa Maria, CA) just for fun, and ended up doing 143+ miles in 7 seconds on a quarter mile--at my first try!

All I can say is "i'm luv'n it"!

 

You are going to find the 203 cam runs out of steam around 3,500 RPM. It's also emissions friendly. The big difference between the 204 and the 203 is that the 204 has a very early exhaust valve close which builds much more static compression. It also has a different LSA for better top end breathing. It's used best on a heavy weight bike application such as a dresser. I you run an FX or a Dyna, there are much better choices. Your 9.8 to 1 compression is too much for the 204, but perfect for others,
Do a little more research on cams and what the numbers mean, then it will all come into focus. You will be able to choose what's right for you. I can tell you this, why go into the cam chest and do all of that work unless you are absolutely sure of what you are buying.
