I talked to a lot of people before I changed cams. The cam manufactures all asked about how I ride. Talking with Andrews they said the 48H would work best for the way I ride. To many people get a cam that is to big and the power range is to high. The 48H works good at low rpm and has not run out when I have run the rpm up. If you will do a web search for 48H Dyne Charts you will see a very flat TQ line and the HP keeps going up past 6000 rpm. For me it was the TQ I wanted. Most of the dyno info on these cams are over 86 HP and over a 100 TQ with a stock 96 with exhaust and high flow ac. Get a tuner from FuelMoto and they have a very good map for this cam.

You already have the Power Commander, just have Jamie at Fuel-Moto email you a new map and download it to your bike. I run the PC-v with a heavy breather and Big radius I put in a set of SE255s and it really came to life. Even sounds a little more like a carbed bike. Mike

Just ordered S&S 510c, this will be installed over the holidays, I did a lot of research and wanted mid range cam that would allow me to keep everything else stock. I am keeping stock pushrods and replacing lifters with brand new HD units, unfortunately I won't be able to report how they perform until spring.

I'm planning on doing moto work this winter, so that willo probably be my buy as well.
The 510c are the chain drive version

525's for me, due to the size of the "bagger" as it's a tad bigger than is the dyna.

thats correct, I considered gear, but my readings had me concluding to go with chain drive, what got me convince was an article in AmericanIron a few month back where they mention that HD specs and tolerance for runout are not as strigent on todays engine than it was then, so I didnt bother with the risk of having this problem and since this is not a high performance application...chain makes sense and remains a reliable choice IMO.
