I have a 2006 street glide and just finished installing s&s509 cams. If you ride two up this cam or the andrews 21 or they will be soft until about 32 to 3500
Rpm.

Disagree. As others have mentioned, the Andrews 21 comes on almost right off the line and pulls hard to 4800 or so. I haven't tried other cams, but for my riding style (80% solo w/o tour pack, 20% 2 up and loaded) the 21's are everything I hoped for. That said, I rarely see 4800 anyway.

Looks like from all your advice and some research I'm going with the Andrews 21. Thanks guys. Y'all ride safe and god bless

Sorry, I forgot some of you think just bolting on cams makes a difference. I've had 88's bored out, changed to higher compression pistons, opened up intakes, changed exhaust systems etc and changed cams to complete the engine build. Just changing cams on a 88 and leaving the rest of the engine stock makes little sense to me. But to each his own.

I did the woods 408-44 cams. Really long duration (for the sound) but a bitch to tune for. Untill I went to thunder max. NO MORE problems Thundermax fixed it all!

Maybe all those dyno sheets i've seen where cams add HP and torque were fabricated and I thought changing cams was considered doing engine work. I have to totally change my outlook on engines now!!

Ever drop an "RV cam" in a small block Chevy as a kid? Or get chambers or a bigger carb for your dirt bike? Its the same. Of course more bucks = more power, but installing cams that increase lift/duration will change the power characteristics and usually bump power. For some of us, that's enough.
