Cam ?'s
Greetings,
Thinking about getting SE 204 cams or similar bolt in. I'm looking to make this as easy as possible. Not looking for headwork and what not.
From what I've researched, I need the cam, inner bearing tool, potentially new push rods and new gaskets. Is there anything else that I need for this install?
Thanks!

204, you can do better...
There are lots of cams out there that will hands down outperform the 204 without any other modifications....

Here is a link to my thread for cam change. First post has a full list of what's needed and part numbers (for a 2014 103 Dyna, not sure if that would be different for yours)

Thanks for everyone's supplies. Yeah, I've read a few cam related threads already and am getting serious about the install.
I'm not going to get into "which cam", but looking for info on the "other" things that go with it.
Am I correct to assume that with a manufacturer listed "bolt in" cam, that no other parts are needed, aside from bearings and gaskets?
What is a lifter, and why is it necessary to upgrade for a bolt in cam? I know it's a popular upgrade, but what am I gaining? Also, tappets were mentioned as an upgrade. Is it necessary for a bolt in cam? What is gained?
Clutch - I've read some folks upgrade their clutch spring (at the expense of making the clutch pull heavier???). Is this necessary for a bolt in cam change?
Appreciate the info. Thanks!
