opinions on cam upgrade for '02 tc88
#11
i installed the Andrews H55 cams along with SE adjustable pushrods and an S&S gear drive kit. my big *** adds about 200 pounds unsprung weight and before these upgrades performance was sluggish at best. now, i have no trouble keeping pace with others. these upgrades on a 2-wheeler would be outstanding. good luck with whatever you decide.

You could email this guy at Andrews: GWallace@andrewsproducts.com to verify your cam selection. Good luck.

thanks for all the replies everbody!thanks for the link for the bearings harry. i just ordered a set. at least now i got a start on getting the parts i need. thanks for the andrews email too.i still got to make up my mind on the cams.i bought the oe parts manual from my dealer so i could get all the part numbers i need. does anyone know what is included in the cam install kit? trying to determine what individual parts i won't need if i get the kit.fwiw, the 1st pic in my 1st post shows what i used to take the tension off the tensioners. slot cut in a pipe with 3/4" I.D.. saved me from buying the tool anyway...

I went Andrews 50. They were recommended by the indy shop. They are bolt in cams so all stock parts work fine. Big gains in power across the wole RPM range.
Check out www.nightrain.com they have info on just about every cam on the market.

from what i'm seeing, it looks like too much cam for me. keep in mind i'm only getting my info from ebay adds. i very well may be wrong. appreciate your reply. the ones i'm seeing are for a roller chain. gear drive may be too much to ask out of me mechanically & $ wise unfortunately... cool sig picture

you are correct in that it is a pretty extreme cam design. i actually made this decision because of my upcoming jump from 88" to 95". my indy recommended this because it wasn't too extreme and would make a very noticeable jump in power on an 88" and would absolutely bring the beast to life with the jump to 95". good luck with your choice. as others have said, the Woods cams are freakin awesome, too. i might have gone that route if $ had allowed but i am happy with my choice regardless.
