So, would you recommend skipping the dealer "free" labor deal and just buy Andrews?
Are the 54's a mid range cam? I really don't want a top end, I love coming out of the hole and corners HARD..and generally don't ride over 85 mph. That is why I was thinking low/mid range cams.

The 25 degree IVC is hard to beat for bottom end power.

Thank you very much Steve for the scan. They look like very aggressive and strong cams, look forward to seeing your results.
Don, I really don't want to change springs...I will call the dealer and ask about the 54's and go from there. If they won't do it, I will just buy them and do it myself.
Thanks a bunch all, you all helped a ton.

i just bought the new 259e cams on the recommendation of the guy that is going to do my 103" build. They are essentially 251 cams (i think i remember that correctly) changed a bit to take advantage of the efi motors. I can get the specs to you if you want, but i have not seen a dyno chart on these cams yet.
That btw, if they let you do it, is an astounding deal. I asked the local dealer what he'd charge for just changing the cams out: 5.5 hours @ $70 per hour=$385! They must really be slow.
