On which cams to go with.Iv been reading up on cams and cant decide
I have a 2011 wide glide with stage 1 done
Im not planning on doing any head work at this time.
Im looking for a good low to mid range rpm cam, something that will pull good when in 4th or 5th when going to pass.I dont go over 85 much anymore so I dont think I need to worry about the higher RPMs.
I read that some cams dont require the push rods to be changed,but is it a good idea to change them out anyways?
Thanks fellas
If you want to save your pushrods, you will need to pull the rocker cover and rockers - a fair amount of extra time and will need a new rocker cover gaskets. Personally I would replace the pushrods and lifters and forget about messing with the top end. I like S&S lifters and prs.
A lot of Andrews 48 lovers out there for what you are describing.

First thing, what are you running for a tuner ???????
Lot's of cam options out there, you may just want to stick with a Harley cam.
If you are looking for low end Harley has a few option's you could look at.
Do some reading and start comparing cam chart's and decide where you really want your rpm's.
Definitely go with some quickee push rods S & S and Andrews make them, this will help so you will not have to remove any top end components.
Let us know if you have any more question's.........
Probably the SE 255 cams would suit your riding desires, good low to mid range. I went with the SE 204 to have a better top end and brother does it have it.
