Any suggestion on what cam to use in a 1999 twin cam?


1999 Electra Glide Classic (EFI)
Screamin eagle air cleaner?
Two up and some solo riding about 50/50.
Riding back country roads and cruising.
Rush True Dual exhuast.
Powercommander III USB
95" 1550 WISECO PISTON BIG BORE KIT 9.1 cr
96" Stock Heads off 2010

 

What year are your heads? I expect newer then 2006? Are you getting head work for your 96" heads? Let the head porter recommend the cam... They will port the heads with the cams in mind. I have the same bike as you...great ride isnt it!

I have a 1999 Ultra that had a stage 2 from Harley with SE203's, PC2, V&H 2-1 with a SE6-speed an 3.37 gearing. It did ok... I purchased a used set of heads at a swap meet for $100 and sent them to WFO Larry for the stage 2+. They have springs set for .600 lift and believe they are similar to what springs are in a 2006 an up heads. Larry also put in 1.9 intakes and 1.6 exhaust. Before I did this work I converted to an CV44 carb, got tired of adjusting the M&M FI.

The cam I recommend is the Woods 5 or 5-6 if your run out it more then .003. Mine was .004 so I went with the hybrid plate and the 5-6 and the newer style chain tensioners.

Big Blue pulls like a freight train on the run!

 

If at 9.8 cr, an Andrews 37 is always a home run.

What are you looking to get out of a cam? What cam to get is what sort of driving you are going to do and where you want the power.

 

I would go with whatever Scott from Hillside recommends he has his PHD in HD motors...he would never steer you wrong!

 

Right now the Andrew 37 is at the top of my list. I still have time, this will be next winters project, I have everthing but the cam right now. The bike has the Screamin eagle air cleaner, Rush True Dual exhuast and the Powercommander III USB right now.

 

Did you understand why HD and most performance pipes are connected? I recommend you find that out be fore going true duals I know why but you might not beleive me even thaw I have been ridding and working on Harley s none stop for 42 years.

Have you looked at the S&S 509? No head work and works great with stock compression. If you are looking for a low to mid cam check it out. It is fairly new.
Good luck.
