Default New cam advice please.....

My winter project is about to begin, I'm planning on installing new cams in my 06 Ultra....stock heads, stock jugs (for now)....have been looking at the andrews 26 geared cams...and was wondering if I should go with the feuling oil pump too. If anyone can recommend an equal S&S set up, please let me know. Thanks for all the info!!

Have you looked at the HQ 0034? I'd lean toward that one and I wouldn't waste my money on a feuling pump or their lifters. I'm still running the stock pump and HD B lifters in my 06 with HQ Touring package, no problems.

I went with the Fueling pump and baisley spring. Oil light would come on since new, Got tired of trying to get dealer to replace the pump. I used the Andrews 26 cams with Geardrive. Has less than .002 runout. With stock bore 88, 81 HP and 86 TQ. Almost a flat torque curve from 2300. Excellent ride ability. From 17 degrees to 100 plus. Rain, snow and sunshine.

I installed the HQ-0034 cams in my '04 EG w/ Rinehart TD's and SE a/c and couldn't be more pleased with the performance over the past year/10K+ miles. It's not a hot rod, but it's stronger than my buddies' SE 95" BB kits and as strong or nearly as strong as another buddy's 95" BB with BigBoyz ported heads using the same cams on an RK Classic. Used stock push rods, new HD "B" lifters, and stock oil pump.

I had purchased the Baisley spring and didn't use it after reading of extremely high oil pressure (gauge pegging) at start-up. My oil pressure has been very stable with the stock pump and see no reason to change it.

The 34's have an intake close of 36* compared to the Andrews 26 40* intake close which allows for slightly earlier torque with the 34's. But since I haven't used the 26's, I can't provide an apples to apples comparison.

Good luck with your research and project.

Carl

Thumbs up

Check out the WOODS TW6-G CAM. Had 63 hp and 79tq from stock 88". After WOODS cam 86 hp and 92 tq from 88" motor. This cam has a BROAD POWER BAND from idle through 5,500 rpms. Big gains for just a cam change, very torquey cam. GOOD LUCK

Unless you have a problem with your pump, I think you'll be fine with the stock oil pump. I would spend my money on something else.

When deciding on a cam upgrade, be aware of not only how much TQ/HP it will produce but where the TQ comes in. A cam that peaks at, say, 4K RPM and produces less TQ than a stock cam below that point may leave you less than satisfied. In my case, I spend 99.9% of my time below 4K RPM, primarily between 2K and 3.5K, and would want TQ to increase in that range. HP would be my least concern because at its peak at around 5-6K is an area I almost never visit.
