ok I just wanted to update yall and let ya know i rejetted the bike and WOW what a difference. The pre-det is totally gone and it runs like a rapped ape. I talked to a guy in Jacksonville FL and we are going to do my heads and cams this summer. According to him we should see at least see 120/130 on both sides, BUT its going to cost me a grand. Anyways Thanks for all you guys help I LOVE THIS FORUM.
a 33. as you said i should and I also went up 2 on the main and for the life of me i cant remember what the size was in it. Any ways love the results hope everyone has a Merry Xmas
just put in my cam (S&S600) over the weekend and wow. I also installed a Daytona Twin Tech Ign....wow is all I can say. I have not put it on the dyno yet but its comming my Butt-o-meter says its faster. It pulls like a rapped ape all over. i use to put 3 bikes on a buddy now i got out at 5 to 6 .... ill post the numbers when I ger them
good to hear!
what was the stock cam you took out?
exactly which components in your ignition did you replace? not sure if any stock ignition parts are retained with that kit.
how difficult was the install? I see there are some wire mods to be done.
546 was the stock cam.....if any one wants it please let me know.........its just the ign module and very little re-wire was required more like repin... i have the stock ign you need it want it...
dmgary, You mentioned you were going to get some head work done. Did you get that done or just install the cam? I'm wondering if the springs needed to be changed or did you just install the cam and the ignition?
I have a 600 cam in my 86fxr with a crane hi 4 ignition and I love the sound and added boost it gives my bike.
You mentioned $1,000 to upgrade, but I have to assume that was with the head work.
if it is running strong... DO NOT TOUCH IT! once you get it out of tune they will never line back up... trust me i work on them alot! only reason you replace the ignition is if they go bad, as long as it stays cool and dry you will be fine...
HeHe see you've been down that road too , there is no standard tune for those things each bike has it's own happy spot and seen a boatload of those of those so called tech school wonders lose hair dealing them

I need the same answer about installing the 600 cam. Does it go right in, or do you need to do work with the heads/springs?

ok ok you know i was doing that navy thing and was out of country. sorry for the long reply and when i get home the last thing on my mind is the forum....momma is LOL
so to answer your questions .... yes it will go right in.. I called S&S and they confirmed that all ironhorses had double springs handling the lift that the cam has. Now the tricky part is that you have to make sure you have the correct pushrods. I was lucky and had them. Call S&S they were a handfull of help.......
