Default 95" build

Has anyone used Andrews 55 cam in a 95" electra glide?

Builder is planning a 95" with weisco pistons, headwork, upgraded oil pump new cyco tensioners, SERT.
Have S&S powertune duals with crusher slip ons and arlen ness air cleaner

I was thinking andrews 37 cams, What are the pros and cons of each?

What would be a good 95" build?
What would be a good 98" build?

Nothing wrong with the 55 cams but they are more of a higher rpm/horsepower cam where the 37 is more of a low end and midrange cam. There is an application for either depending on the builder's goals. I would wonder why Wiseco pistons when the cast SE flat top pistons are adequate for the job.

Really no difference between the 95" and 98" build except, of cours, 3 cubic inches. What ever you build for 95" can be built for 98"; displacement is the only difference. If boring to 95", why not go to 98"; three cubic inches and the bit of HP/TQ that goes with those 3 cubic inches is basically free................

I put Andrews 55's in my wifes '05 Road King. She's small and I didn't want to give her a cam that came on early so I chose the 55's for her. Her build is 98", we did some headwork and it has the stock throttle body and injectors. Really it was a pretty basic build but the results were good. She runs a Drago's Dragula 2 into 1 pipe and I tuned it with a TTS Mastertune.

Thanks! Is there a cam where the torque curve mimics the hp? Will the 37 cam do that ?

WOW !! Seems like a strong 95 incher to me though the torque is a bit late for my riding style.
The headwork must make a nice difference.

An Andrews 57 in a 98" will whip 110-112 ft/lbs all in by 3600 rpms with our Stage II Heads.
10.1 cr.

I'm not sure what you mean by "mimics" the HP? IMO the 37 is a decent bolt in but I wouldn't use it on bigger builds.

It's a 98". The torque coming in late was by design. Beings it was built for my wife to ride I didn't want to give her to much low end torqe. She's small and the Road King is a big bike for her and I wanted something that wasn't going to get away from her in normal riding but something she could have fun with when she's racing around with me and my riding buddies.

I have a 99 road king that when I bought it it had a 203 in her and that was good for low end but wanted more

Switched to the 37 and all I can say is this cam rocks Great cam all through out

I've been running a Thunderheader so have a lil soft spot but just ordered a Fat Cat so cant wait for that

Highly recommend the 37

Another VERY strong, smooth combination is this:

Our Stage II Torquemaster Heads
Bore to 98"
Andrews 26 cams
CR at 9.65
Great touring build also.
