The shop I go to is telling me the T-54 Andrews is the way to go without doing the heads. Claims it will give me more botom-end and a stronger mid-range without killing gas milage.
Others say the Andrews 48 is good running on a stock 96. At this point I'm still doing my homework. Don't know which one to get yet.
I'm looking for a strong off the line pull with a decent mid-range. Don't do alot of higway riding. I want a strong street performer 0-60. Stop light to stop light type of motor.

8000 miles all good
Got the from J&P last year. You need a good tuner like a SERT or TTS (mine) and go for a dyno or runs for a good tune/mileage. I had the Dobek and it was riding rough and nasty mileage per gallon.
Pulls from 2000 rpm but kicks at 3000 so much so that after 4000 feels like loosing power but it's just pulling less.
Hope this helps

those will work great for your bike. my mechanic runs them and I cant keep up with his bike for anything. I am looking at the 583s for my ride as well. May use the 570 though as I have seen what they can do. I like S&S stuff. I know andrews and wood cams work great too from experience.

I ran woods cams on an 03 Lowrider I had. had carb, cam , ignition , pipe and man the first time I rode it , it pulled so hard I almost came off the back. Barely held on. Also had a 95 ci bore kit put on. Man that was a screamer of a bike.

Just to chip in here on the ez start cam. I just got my bike outa the shop for a total rebuild. They installed the gear drive S&S 585 ez-starts in my 107 build. 121h/132t. I've only started the bike a couple of times since I picked it up last night and its like starting a Cadillac. No grinding, kick back or slamming. Just a smooth, qucik starter squeal and the rumble of the exhaust.

Dynamic Compression Ratio (DCR) is an important concept in high performance engines. Determining what the compression ratio is after the intake valve closes provides valuable information about how the engine will perform with a particular cam and octane.
Definition: The Compression Ratio (CR) of an engine is the ratio of the cylinder volume compared to the combustion chamber volume. A cylinder with 10 units of volume (called the sweep volume) and a chamber with a volume of 1 has a 10:1 compression ratio. Static Compression Ratio (SCR) is the ratio most commonly referred to. It is derived from the sweep volume of the cylinder using the full crank stroke (BDC to TDC). Dynamic Compression Ratio, on the other hand, uses the position of the piston at intake valve closing rather than BDC of the crank stroke to determine the sweep volume of the cylinder.
swapping cams can change cylinder pressure not compression ratio.
