Default Opinions on 551 ez start cams

Looking to put these in my scoot, 09 flhx 96 stage 1 with true duals. Anyone have anything good or bad to say about them?

nice cams,we`ve used tons of them over the years,you might want to look at the .583`s too,power carries a bit higher than the .551 (set both @ 9.8-1)

lift has very little to do with picking a cam,timing & duration is way more as far far as choosing a cam here

Great cam in a 96 and I have installed them without the easy start feature with no hard start issues.
