Just orderd 204 cams with 4 deg advance, along with SE race tuner, big radius, and stage 1 kit for fresh air, going to install in one week, weather to cold now, will post information about it upon picking bike up

 

You could have put in a andrews21 cams, it would have been the same but maybe a little better.

 

i used the 204s in 95 they seem to be very good cams to me . why does everybody say andrews are better?? what makes them better cams for a 96 ??

 

I've done some research and it looks to me like the 204 se cam with 4 deg advance has better numbers than either the Andrews 21 or 26..
intake close exhopenint duration exh duration overlap int lift exh lift rpm high
andrews 21 30* 40* 220* 228* 18* .498 .498 5500
andrews 26a 35* 43* 226* 230* 20*.490 .490 5500
se204/4*deg adv 30* 48* 236* 240* 30* .508 .508 5500 /with 4deg advance, 5800 without


So it looks to me like the 204 has the same intake close for low end torque, .010 - .016 more duration in and out, equals more power.
10* - 12*- more overlap to helpcool(helps96 in)
.010 - .018more intake and exhaust lift while having the same rpm range(2000 - 5500 rpms) as the andrews cams..
Plus most HDdealers willstillhonor warrenity workif they do the install. I have also heard that the 204 are very quiet and dependable while some andrews owner have a little valve noise

So how is the andrews cams better when the numbers say different????

 

my 204s in my 10.25 to1 95 with rush slipons ,stock heads,made 89h.p. 95trq. 75 trq at 2100 .show me better #s out of a andrews and i will buy them.

 

I just got back from hearing the bike with the cam and Big Radius's. It is absolutely amazing the difference in sound with the cams installed opposed to just the pipes.With the 96 idleing faster than the 88, the cam brought the lope back, and the engine sounds,,,,,authoritive.. like Iv never heard.
I will post the final numbers from the dyno latet this week and the atmospheric conditions.
Before installing cams other than screaming eagle read the chart OCT1949 posted it will clarify why the 204 is the cam to use.
come on spring!!!!!!!!!

 

the Andrews 21 and 26 cams are just plain smaller than the SE 204.

And they are intended as more of a heavy bagger cam. the 204 is alittle larger.

My friend runs the 204 in a Fatboy and it runs OK, he was having pinging problems with it last summer, and has to switch to a SE ignition box to pull some timming.

It ran a little better after that.

the main think is just to get the parts to work to gether, matching compression with the right cam. and getting the timming right to make the best power and torque.

I group the Off the shelf Andrews and the SE cams in the same "cookie cutter" cam file.

the Asymmetric cams will make the best, broadest torque curves.

When this is realized you will be calling HQ or Woods or R&R for your cams

 

i think i will try a set of 211 (cookie cutter) cams in mine. there made by comp cams theyve been cutting cookiesa lot longer than a lot of (BUILDERShand filed cams)

 

You have a light bike like mine so, they should work great.

If you work your heads though, try the Woods T-9.

I also love comp cam products, and quality is second to none! but they are only cutting edge on Chevy parts.

everthing else is an after though to cash in on whats"IN" right now,and that includes HD cams.

 

a local dealer ports heads supposidly has a flowbench.there parts man has spent 500 bucks on his heads .i have 204s he used 211s. on the same dynomine made 89and 95 with stock heads,his made 89 and 97 with ported heads .same pistons 10.25 cast s.e,i used stock gaskets he used 30 cometics, il stick with my stock 06 heads for now.
