Default curious 103ho cams for 96

Well guy's I'm back with another question,most of the men I ride with are retired, reason I'm always looking for the cheapest way to do something.So anyway got a retired Marine with a 09 ultra,96" and a reasonable 103ho cam set.Know it will work but question is how well?,he's got the stage 1 upgrade flash plus intake and pipes.

It's a lot of cam for a stock bike. Talk to your local indy. if you want a good bang for your buck look at the Andrews 48H..

Better than stock 96/103 cams. Most likely work ok in a 96 but not as good as 48s.

You should ride a oem 103" bike equipped with TTS-100's they hit pretty early and hard. 100tq before 2500 and will carry 100tq to almost 5k, peaks around 115tq. Pretty fun ride for a bike that has never had the heads off.

Do it! More like a short duration se 204. New,quality lifters ,adj pushrods( dont know if stockers will work) and new inner bearings. i would also do the cam chain tensioners. Down the a good tuner and tune.

While it does seem to be a decent geezer/torque choice, I kind'a have a problem with the advertising and lack of specs from TTS on their cam. I'm really not a "torque" guy either... But enjoy.
