Default Cam Considerations

Giving some thought to having a cam done. My local indy suggests S&S 551. I ride 2 up more than I'd like and looking for more low end and mid range. Thoughts on the 551 and alternatives... Stage 1 done...don't think I'm going big bore or headwork, want to maintain reliability.

My Dyno guy really likes these

I have t-man 577's on mine with the D&D fatcat. This was all installed before I saw the bike on the showroom... they started it and I fell in love..

Good luck!

I've been recommended to use Andrews 48h for the same scenarios and they are in route.

Put a Rivera game changer 32 tooth on the motor.

Can change the gear ratios with a PV if you have one.
If not get a friend to let you use his powervision, pay 200 for a license.
<$400 and if you ride two up alot you wont look back.
