Default I reinstalled my 255 cams today

After running a set of Andrews 57h cams (great cam BTW) for the past 35k I decided to make a change.

The 57s are great on the freeway and for long distance runs (the 255 cams are too) but I miss the tree stump pulling torque of the 255s. Most of the riding I do these days are backroad twisties and grade climbing. The 57s were never that great off the line so I'm looking forward to the head jerking whiplash that the 255s offer.



Thank You for letting me share... *sips drink*

Could have changed to a 32 T comp.

That would have cost more. I had the 255s sitting on the shelf, I think I paid 100 bucks for them back in 2014.

You had the right cam, just the wrong gearing. Be interesting to see how quick you feel the heat with the 255s. I lined it up with a 110cvo with 255s last weekend and he said he's looking to get rid of them next year the heat is so bad.

I’d have just ponyed up for the 48’s. Much better cam than 255, and a stump puller.
