Andrews 48h bagger cam?
Hey guys looking for some advice on a cam. I am really looking hard at the 48h because it seems to be giving the low to mid range power I am looking for. I dont do a ton of freeway riding and would like to have a great 0-60 type cam if you will. I called andrews told them what i was looking for and they recommended the 48h but said for a dyna its not something they would normally recommend. I am also curious what my best bet for installation and where the best place to buy these at would be. Not sure if I am going to try and tackle it myself or bring it in somewhere. Stealership quoted me like 1700 for everything including a dyno tune but I think they are out to lunch with that figure maybe i am wrong? I have a stage one with the sepst you can see my exhaust and air cleaner in sig pic. Thanks for the help!

that's a good cam I almost went that route. funny Andrews told you that, I talked to gary last year at this time . first words out of his mouth was the 48.
with stock 96 and not doing any headwork he said it was strong off idle up to 4500 rpms. and it has a nice lope to it. with 29 intake closing you would run ok. big improvement over stock if you want to keep it that way.

Cool thanks for the heads up, story goes i called Andrews which i am sure it was that Gary to ask about the 54h cause a buddy had a set he was trying to get rid of for cheap barely used but i study not know anything about them. Then i asked what he would recommends for a dyna and he said 37h but i told him what i was looking four and them he said 48h but also said its more of a bagger cam do to the low to mid range torque. I think the 48 sound like what i want. I don't plan on any bb kits our anything like that in the near future so four a stage 1 96 sounds like a good bet. Can't wait for a more potato potato idle either!

37 has the idle but needs more compression to really come alive. 26 is a really good cam for Stage 1 bike. Woods 222 is also supposed to be a good cam for a Stage 1 only bike. $1700 is actually a pretty good price from a dealer, but I strongly suggest you do it yourself. It isn't that difficult. Took me about 5 hours and no previous experience doing something like this.

I have the 48h cam and love them! Had them for close to 2 years. I installed them myself. The SE adjustable push rod kit was less tham $150 and about $100 in gaskets. If you need new lifters get them from CompCams. All 4 are less than $60. Same lifter that HD uses. I went with Fuel Moto for a tuner and had them load a map. They had just done 2 dyno tunes when I got my PC from them. I think for the way I ride these are the best cams.

The 48H will pull past 5000 rpm. Do a net search for dyno runs on the 48H and you will see they still are making power to 6000. I wanted low end and got it. By 2700 you should be around 100 tq and not fall off till after 4500 to 5000 rpm.

Awesome guys thanks for all the replies, i think i may look into doing it myself. I did watch a you tube video of the full install did not look to bad. Just a few tools i would need to borrow, rent or buy.
