The "hot" cam was the marketing by MoCo... They are better than the old OEM, but nothing most would call "hot" in comparison..

They are similar to the SE255 cam, kind of an SE255 light... So you wouldn't notice the difference if you used the SE255 cams. I have never used, and am unfamiliar with the 535 cams...

I was going to put Andrews 48 cams in my 2016 Bagger (103"), until I got carried away and went the crate engine route....

ok...thank you for the knowledge....well for me this is an upgrade in power because I came from an 01 Road king with a stock 88.....lol...so I guess until I get bored with this incarnation of my engine I will leave it alone....but I am.always looking for suggestion to improve the horse power..

FWIW... A lot of people are totally satisfied with that Rushmore "HO Cam"....

I have a friend who did Stage I, and then followed up with a bolt-in cam, on his 88" bagger... He got Rushmore 103" bagger and did a Stage I with a good tune. I asked when he was going to add a cam, and he said, "No need... This Rushmore really wakes up with just a Stage I"...

I'm on my 3rd 103, the first was a 96" upgraded, second was a factory 103 and 3rd an HO. The HO is almost as powerful as the SE 103 kit on the 96" with 255 cams. The factory non-HO 103 on the 2012 UL was a dog from day 1. Riddled with compensator issues to boot.

The HO with stage 1 has plenty of power to haul the wife and I around.
