Yessir you are correct. All of those factors come into play. I just know that guys up north almost always get better numbers than us guys from the South for those very reasons.

You can't have it all in a 103 without headwork.Low/mid or mid/ high. Resist the urge to overcam....and remember,those dyno sheets that you see,in the real world,you will see 5-8% less. Remember your jockeying around a heavy,high geared touring bike with a passenger and probably some gear........

U guys are awesome. I really appreciate everyone chimming in. I think the decision is made for the 777. Although its a pretty aggressive cam, it's still safe in the stock 103. I've posted here, on FB and a few other threads and everyone who went with the 777 loves it.

My vote would be for the S&S Quickee push rods and Premium lifters.

He loves Andrews 57 and hates Woods. I have the Power Vision tuner which is pushed by Fuel Moto. I don't think they provide maps for Andrews cams.

But again, I'm looking for reasons WHY folks chose their cams. I don't want to just choose a cam w/o having evidence to support it.

Thanks gang!
I'm a big fan of Andrews, I've run and been very pleased with Andrews in both Shovel's for over 20 years. Nothing against Woods except they aren't competitively priced with Andrews. Both obviously perform very well if chosen correctly.
I also have a Fuel Moto supplied Power Vision, and I'm beyond pleased with both the PV and service I got from FM.

I didn't realize that these had to be changed out. I just emailed Bob at FM for his recommendation and um, cost...


This might have to wait another month or so. I just did mufflers, headers, apes and the Power Vision.

I'll have to double check to be certain but there are a couple other good alternatives that will allow you to use the stock pushrods. One being Andrews 57H and the SE204. Both of these will be in the same ballpark of the 777's without any other mods. If your plan is to eventually do head work and a big bore then I would wait on the funds to go with the 777's.

Thanks. FM gave me a quote of $749 plus shipping for the cams, gasket kit w/inner cam bearings, adjustable pushrods and lifters.


Goes to show what I know. I was just thinking about the price of only the cams. See, research and talking things through is a good thing. And with something like cams, I'm not going to do the work myself. I'll have my Indy guy do the install. I'll get this done but not as soon as I was originally planning. Gotta pay down some bills .
