HELP, I need some advice on cam choice? I have a FI, 2000 RK, Stock TC-88, stock heads ,3.5 Rinehart true duals, Arlen Ness big sucker. I dont ride 2-up very often, and i rarely see over 5000rpm. like to stay with a cam only for now. Since the crane 300 is not around (why)? Andrews 26,37 ? S&S 509, 510 ? SE 203, 204 ? Any help would be AWESOME!!!!
Cam only upgrade?? Toss up between the Andrews 26 and the S&S 509; forget the others. If fuel injected, you will need fuel management system and dyno tune to optimize the performance.
If going beyond a cam only upgrade, take Kirby's advice.

Thanks Djl,
whats more cost effective steppin up to a 95
or cam only or both ?
Who`s Kirby ?
67rayson,im Kirby (prodrag1320).I really don't like "cam only" builds.not that everyone wants a firebreathing monster,even a VERY mild touring build can have much more by simply matching compression to a given cam.sure the 26,59 or 48 will work with stock compression,your leaving so much on the table by not just bumping the compression a bit and using a cam set that will yield much more of the power your looking for (at the RPM range you ride in)
