My previous was "tongue in cheek". This thread went sideways quick; the OP took cover and has not returned.

Now we are talking....
http://www.harleytechtalk.com/index.php?topic=98155.0
Wake up and smell the truth.
Add pipe, cam , intake, and tune (another two grand), and sure, like I said the 570 or several other cams will improve a Dyno sheer.
Now,
Internet expert, who knows a "perfect", "magic", "best"'cam for every 103", and every set up-
Here is the truth quiz......
1.
Will this be the right cam for a guy two up, loaded up, looking for hard hitting bagger power?
2.
Will this be the "right cam" for a hot Rod Dyna guy who likes to street race his friends?
3.
Is this the "perfect" cam for everything, hitting early to climb those mountains two up at 1,000 lbs, all day daily powers under any pump gas touring situations, and late for hi rpm power with a stock pipe, tune, intake etc, etc, ???
Hell no.........
So sorry man....dream a bigger dream-

I am not disagreeing with this. I try and have this conversation with customers a couple times a week. Some have a good idea of how they ride and what they are looking for. Some don't pay attention to them shifting before 5 and never hitting redline. Some just seem like they don't want to answer questions. Some have no idea what to expect out of work being performed and a tune. Or they don't understand the trade off. Some don't even know what they want. They just got money burning a hole and they want to keep up with buddies bike that I did work on a couple of month ago. Some have expectations and know they are looking for nothing but stump pulling tq but don't want to give up their CFR's because they "sound" good. Easier to talk with these people face to face rather than over a forum. People can only make suggestions on the info that they have at hand. Want better educated suggestions. Give as much info that you can and remember. You really can't give enough.
I have always seen it work out the best for everyone involved if: You know exactly what you are looking for, and are willing to take the suggestion to get you there. The more you want out of it. The more critical this becomes.

Run SE 211's in my FXDF with Cometic head gaskets at 30 thou to increase compression tuned with Pro-Race tuner, very very happy with how she performs, not happy with the crankshaft because the bastard just snapped...
