Hello from Ohio
First time on the forums. I ride a 2003 Deuce with a carburetor, not injected. Pretty much a stock 88” with a Ness giant sucker and Thunderheader. In 2019 I got talked into a .510 S&S bolt in cam. Nice top end increase but not much low end torque. I did the entire cam chest and oil pump, also. I’m very impressed with all of the technical input from the post’s I have read on these forums. I would appreciate some input on how to solve the torque dilemma. I was thinking a 98” kit and doing the heads since they would be coming off anyway. I read Scott at Hillside said that the .510 likes cr of 10.2. I would definitely put .600 springs in. I wanted to know if I have the heads done to match the cam, if I go to a Woods or Andrews cam next year, will the heads need redone? Any suggestions would be appreciated. I rarely run 2 up, and don’t want to be first, just happiest.

Welcome from Spartan Country, Michigan!
I tell a lot of new comers to the forum to get: Factory Service manual and the Parts manual. Get a three ring binder and record all your maintenance, repairs, accessories, etc. This will be a great reminder of what was done when. And great material to pass along to the new owner should you sell and upgrade. Also know how large your fuel tank is, and record your fuel usage. I have an app called Simply Auto that I record all my fuel used. I use the odometer and use the fuel gage as reference only. I reset the odometer to zero on fill ups, and I know I can safely get 200 miles on a tank on around town riding.
Good Luck!!

Stuff you are talking about up above in your OP (Original Post), needs to go to the proper and more relevant area to get our rider’s input.
In the UPPER LEFT corner, just take your mouse and ROLL OVER “Forums” and come down to the section (or subsection) that you feel is most appropriate. It is that easy.
Thank you my friend for understanding.
It is GREAT to have you here with us.
Warmly & Respectfully,
