Any softails runnin HQ cams?
I am adding HQ-TC-500-HC , black ops lifters, and SE adjustable pushrods, I'll change the bearings while I'm at it..then on to the dyno for a good tune.
Have an o8 Crossbones. Forcewinder, D&D Fatcat and a race tuner.
I need some more ummph as a o8 Sporty pulled away from me the other day and I haven't quite gotten over it yet. Plus I work with the guy so that makes it worse.
Also:
I am also looking for any info regarding a 30 tooth baker pulley. I have done a search and most of the info pertains to touring..
If I get a new trans pulley do I have to change the rear pulley as well to a 70 tooth one.

That 500 is a nice bolt in cam that can run on stock un fiddled with heads.
Have you maybe considered bumping the compression just a wee bit? When I had my heads ported and milled along with the thinner gasket my bike came to life. It went from cool it pulls strong to pulling with new found angry authority.
Sporties are gonna walk away from us big twin guys until we get up around the 100/100 Range.
Man I aint heard nothing bad about those HQ cams tho. Should be cool. A before and after dyno run would be cool to share as well.
Oh Yeah, GunMetal the inhouse master cam grind guy in 9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2 You aint here yet Gunnie? Slipping in yer old age.

The 575 will work with 10 to 1 or even slightly lower if I recall correctly.
That Sporty wouldn't pull away from you with a Cam and heads set up right but you are fighting power to weight. You probably need 100+ hp ish to stay ahead of him.

The issue there bro is not having a cam that is gonns need replaced if you wanna get rowdier.
Go rowdier up front and save some coin.
I have a set of 211's in my bike. 10:5-1 Comp. Back when I could keep both hands on the bars I could reel in a sporty by 2nd gear and slowly pull on him. Not by much though!!
I could also spank my neighbors Mean Streak by a good 5-6 bike lenghts in a 1st through 4th WFO battle.
I inherited the 211's cams in my bike. They are soft off the bottom. It had 211's on a cookie cutter 95" kit so I had the heads milled and ported and di some other stuff to make compression so they would work correctly. The headwork and added compression made it way stronger everywhere. A different bike for sure.
I tried to make it stronger off the bottom with a 2-1 pipe which helped in the midrange substancially but the 211 is still soft til about 2800-3000 RPM.
Definately better choices out there than team Eaglet. I will probably be swapping out my 211's this winter for something from Woods or Andrews.
