They all claim the same thing !

Except for the 255 which, with your idle set at 1000 rpm, allows you to not touch the throttle till you reach 6th gear.

Looking at 551's for the wifes stg 1 96 inch
Are these cams noisy are as far engine noise?

Hey Rob, how'd the Andrews cams run with the Python pipes? .....

"Are these cams noisy are as far engine noise?"

No more engine noise noticed; RB Racing black hole 2-1 pipe with a vortex cone in the end. Can make a "clack" on shutdown

"It would be cool to see greater discussion on specs,overlap,duration,their significance and true life action rather than just opinion of personal experience.Don't get me wrong,personal experience and opinion is valuable,but backed up by facts make it more plausible"

That's why I included my dyno sheet...the only numbers that matter in the end

How does the HD HO 103 cam stack up? It sounds pretty healthy.

Is the 5 hp or so gain decent for a supposedly "upgraded" cam?

Not quite correct, stock is 0.045" so going to a 0.030" head gasket is only 0.015" difference and everything bolts up fine

Correct; thanks...I'm thinking more of when heads on a 100hp XL I had built were decked; wrench cracked a 44CV manifold trying to get it back on...would never happen with just a .015 gasket change
