I disagree since I have 211s in my 88”and know first hand the difference in performance. I ride a 2001 Heritage Springer dual fishtails w/crossover, rejetted.My bike screams from start to finish and eats 103s all day. Best thing I ever did, thanks to my Indy mechanic who had to talk me into them.

Default 211s

The 211's are a good fit with HC cast pistons, 95" and a lighter bike like a Dyna, IMO.

In a Big heavy bike like a touring model, road king, etc, AND staying 88" the 203's or 204's would be a better choice, IMO. Both those cams can shine with a little additional work (porting) as well aas the 211's.

Here is a Dyno from a 88" with 204 cams.

I was going to go 203s in my ‘01Heritage Springer 900lbs. My mechanic swore 211s would be better, he was NOT wrong, from 1st to 5th that cam does not let up and for a bike with just cams,rejetting and a heavy breather I could not be more happy. I understand science and math but in the right application these cams work and when I’m ready to build I’ll be one step further.

Eats 103's all day . We have a bunch of young guns driving 2001 Honda Civics in town who eat Mustangs, Camaro's and Challengers all day. The secret is, not to let the other guy know he's in a race. Works every time.

Welcome to the Forum, I think you'll do well here!. Congrats on your first two posts!

Nice resurrection...you just missed setting a new record. I actually had to count months and days on this one to verify the record. Missed by just over 3 months. Are you sure those people on those 103s youre eating even know they're in a race? Kinda like these guys from 14+ years ago know they're being called out? Lol...welcome to the forum
