As far as I know (and I could be wrong) S&S makes 2 versions of each cam they make one with EZ start and one without, just get the version without and just use your ACR's.
If you have a Power Vision you can disable your ACR's, or you can get the dealer to disable them.
Not sure if unplugging your ACR wiring will cause a code on your bike but starting could be an issue using EZ start cams and electrical ACR's at the same time.
If I would have had ACR's I would have chose the non EZ start cam that went into my engine.
Is the cam you are looking at not offered in a non EZ start version? Just wondering why you are considering EZ start cams if you already have ACR's.
Easy start cams bump the exhaust valve open a bit while starting. If you are using ACRs on top of that, I don't think there would be enough compression to start the engine.
Actually the combination of the two work really well together. I've been running mine for three years with no problems...starts right up every time. It also seems to be fairly easy on the battery as mine is four years old and still going strong.
