Has anyone had any experience with the andrews cam 57H. I would like to know how this cam works in the bike or if you had experience with another Andrew cam that wor ked well in ur bike. I have a 2014 roadking Thanks
Yup - I put the Andrews 57H cams into my 2014 FXDF.
They are really nice cams! They don't really kick in until about 2.5K RPM, but from there the bike pulls like a train up to the redline. over 100 TQ from 3K to over 5K RPM.
The bike lost nothing in the lower RPM ranges compared to stock.
I have Andrews 57H in my '13 RK. The cams, breather, exhaust, tuner, and Dyno really woke up my RK. Like adm wrote, they come on a little later but pull through 5K. I like them because they are always ready when I need to crack the throttle at speed.
Good luck!
The 57 is a good, mild, bolt in set of cams. The 48's are also and will build torque a little sooner and fall off a little sooner on the back end.
Some folks say the 57's start later, but that is only because they let them do it. Give them a little head work and increased compression to work with. Mine crosses 100 ft lbs torque at 1900 rpm.
Lots of other good cams around but you specifically asked about Andrews.

I have 13 flhx . Im running 57h with stage 2 heads, Bumped compression to 10.2, lifters, pushrods , thunderheader and stage 1 intake tuned by powervision. . Gained 37HP and 38 TQ. Final numbers were 103.87 hp and 122.32tq. Cam does come in little later at 2500 rpm and up but huge difference. I'm extremely happy with the results. I was scared that it was to much of higher rpm cam for my riding but I quickly changed to fit the cam. Anything over 2500 just bump the throttle and she wants to go. I don't think you'd be disappointed. The cam chase made me crazy and overwhelmed, but I'm happy with my setup.
I have a Andrews +4 key if anyone wants the 57 cam to come on at 2000 rpm 40$ it's yours. I have too much ccp to use it after my heads Chambers came in at 85 each. Ccp 197 now so I don't want to push it.
No, you can have the 57H come alive earlier 1800 rpm's by installing a 4+ advance crank sprocket. I personally like the lower torque value as it only trims off 400 rpm's from it's top end and really wakes up where it's really needed, (especially 2 up riding). It still pulls very hard up to 5200 rpm's. I'm more then satisfied IMHO.

The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it
Installed per my signature; looking at the cam profile on bigboyz you will see (all other things being the same) this cam will have a lower ccp then your stock cam. Depending the elevation you spend most of your time at this will have more or less of an impact. I went to a .027 head gasket to try and gain some of that back and have a measured 184/5; and which puts me at 10.31:1 on bigboyz. I was shooting for 195, but would need to do head work to get there.
My Dyna is fairly stripped down, and I never ride 2up. This is a great mid range cam so starts in fairly quickly and doesnt fall on its face, but does fad off around 5500. At the time I was considering the SE204, likely both would have been fine, but no regrets about the 57H. I would do it again.
