Thanks, but that doesn't help me with my stock 96" motor?

 

bump.

 

I spent alot of time looking up cams and making a pain in the *** of myself asking every person that might know something questions. What I found was you can get away with a slightly larger bolt in cam and not loose bottom end power with the right tune. Ya, it would be even better with higher compression but still much better then stock across the whole RPM range. A good tuner working the dyno is the key.

 

Thanks Mike06train...... So in my case, running true duals, what would you consider a slightly bigger bolt in cam??? So far all my research leads me to the following:-

• TW6-6 +4* adv gear
• Andrews new 48H (like the SE255 but better)
• TW5-6
• Andrews 54H + 4* adv (might be too much cam for stock top end)

 

bump.

 

It kind of does if the build was with stock heads.. The main purpose of the posts were to tell you Andrews actually recommended changing pulleys over cams..

Good luck

 

I think the pipes make a HUGE difference too.... Like I am running a true dual system and compared to a good 2-1 pipe I will be losing lots of low end power..... so this needs to be considered carefully when choosing the cam. The one piece of advice I keep getting is that performance components have to match each other to perform well.

 

My advice is to call Gary Wallace at Andrews and he'll make a recommendation based on your engine, intake, exhaust and riding style. When it comes to cams, there are several different manufacturers that offer a cam that will suit your needs. Gary Wallace,Technical Support,Andrews Products, Inc.,847 759-0190 Ext. 38

 

If your going to have them installed by a shop, Talk to the mechanic and let him help you pick. I was set on the andrews 37 until I was at the shop and they talked me into the 50. I have 2 into 2 pipes and he said I would be better with a 2-1 but only 1 or 2 ftlbs. A good high flow A/C is important. The exhaust can be somewhat adjusted with the right baffels.

 

Gary at Andrews has suggested for a good midrange cam to go with the 54H (with or without the +4* adv key) or if I want all TQ down low to go with the new 48H.

So I guess it just comes down to how I want to ride the bike....
