I'm fighting hard not to do that, but dang, just 4 more bolts...............................

I went with the Andrews 57H. This is my first cam upgrade in a 103". If you're not pulling heads it's real hard to beat IMO. I keep saying this, but it's so true. It's all in the tune. Your average tech at the dealer will struggle to get this combo right. Gotta take it to boys who tune for a living.

Default I chose the 57H with 4* Gear

I went with the 57H with 4* gear, Johnson Hylift B2313SE lifters and Smith Brother adjustable push rods. I decided not to put the Rockouts in right now and maybe do it later. I went this way because I believe I have a good MAP to start with until I can get to the independent tuner. I liked the SE204 and this way I get about the same only a little more lift. I thank everyone who took the time to give me advice and it was much appreciated. When I get this all put together I will post a report on how it runs. Thanks again.

Default Update

Update to let you all know how I like the Andrews 57H with the 4* gear in my 2012 FLHTK. I am VERY happy the way it turned out, great low in and good pull on the top. No difference in engine noise still sounds like the typical Harley sewing machine but that's fine with me. I mostly ride two up and it has all the low end I need. Great passing in 6th, at 75 MPH I am at 2800 RPM. Roll on is good. Hope this helps any body trying to decide on cams. Take care and ride safe.
