Default Andrews advanced cam sprocket

I will be installing a Andrews 57H cam along with 10 to 1 pistons in my 2014 Streetglide. How well does the +4 degree sprocket work? Anyone with experience with this?

​​​​​​in my conversation with Andrews they said it really wouldn't make that much of a difference with the 57h

It really is just a band aid for installing the wrong cam....

Advancing or retarding a cam moves its sweet spot in the rpm range up or down. Say you have a cam that is a mid to top end cam and you have a heavy bike and don't want to have to spin the engine so tight all the time, you can advance the cam and bring the sweet spot down a few hundred rpm. In racing, this is a common thing to fine tune an engine package to the car/ track/ weather conditions.

Instead of advancing the 57H, why not use a 204 cam ?
