I have been looking at those 570s and 585s, should be good on a dyna with headwork.

Yeah.. Both of those look great, but don't plan on doing any head work.. Yet.. Lol. I think I'm looking for a nice balanced cam.. That's good all the way through 4500 rpms

I know they're not S&S, but my Andrews 48's are still making 95 ft/lbs at 4500 rpm. No headwork, just an intake, V&H slipons on stock headers, 030 head gaskets and TTS on a 96 incher.

Also, if you go to the Engine/Fuel/Intake/Exhaust section of the forum, you'll find TON of info about cams, and pretty knowledgeable guys to answer your questions.

Good luck with whatever you do.

583 if staying at 96 and no head work, I put in 585's but went to 106ci.
It's awesome !! Great product, the easy start feature works flawlessly

Yes it is considered needed.
I used the SE cam plate with gear driven SS585 cams. I would check the run out before hand.


I am also using the SS585 chain drive cams in a 106"
For me The SS585 cams are a good over all cam in the Dyna bikes. With good head work These cams will be arm stretchers.
Personally, talking about me-not someone else, I would save and do head work and bore it out to 103 at least, at the same time.
106" stage 3 head work and SS585 cams
113" stage 4 heads, SS585 cams
But that is me.

Do you have to have it? Why? Is it needed for gear, chain or for both when using S&S ez start cams.
