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!!

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.

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.
