Default cam swap dyno charts?

Every cam swap thread I read has 15 different guys with 15 different opinions on what the best cam selection is for the dyna.

I guess what I'm going to have to do is start comparing dyno charts to get any sort of idea...

that being said, is their a collection of them, or a source to start where different cams are compared?

do you want a bolt in cam, or one that requires head work.
do you want top end power, low end power or like me, power all over?

I run the HQ Firestorm cams the come on early and hit hard with a fat midrange and it pulls to well over 5K rpms.

you can go to Head-quarters.com to see some dynos and Deweyspegs.com has some too. there all over just poke around.

found a lot of good info at nightrider.com

based on my riding style and weight of my bike, etc. I am thinking about the crane htc316 or the andrews 44

I would say my preferred rpm range is around 1800 and up. No head mods (yet) and it will have the 2 into 1 rinehart and a performance a/c

Go to latus-harley-davidson.com under service and then dyno charts. They have printouts for every bike they have dyno'd and customer supplied dynos. Check out the Ask Mike section as well. Awsome site.

That would be great except you can't view any of the dyno charts, etc without subscribing and paying $5 a month.

speaking from first hand experiacne the Rinehart will hurt low end performance alot.(the primaries are too large). I would consider the Thunderheader or the D&D Fatcat instead.

I have run all three on my hot 95 and the Rinehart was the most disapointing of the three.

The Andrews 44 is a very Unpopular cam for reasons I cant explain, but but again from first hand knowledge you would be better off with the 37 cam in the Andrews line, or the 54 cams.

you could also do the HQ TC 500 or the Woods 6 cam, all pull strong off ilde and up. and have big torque #s.
