Cam choice thoughts
10 flhtcu ,stage 1, s&s pt dual, MGS Slip-On ,se a/c and pv.
bike has 50k miles.
looking for low to mid range. Rarely see above 4500.
thinking s&s 551 easy start, with new lifters and was gonna replace pressure relief valve and spring while Im in there.
want to do work myself and also looking for best prices. FM will provide tune for pv.
any thought, cnahnges additions....
thanks

Heads. Call some reputable head porters and tell them what you want your bike to do. They will know what combo's will work well together. Then get a competent tuner to tune it. Not a map in a can.
Do it all once and have it done.

JMHO but I think I would stick with the S&S 551 for a cam only upgrade to a Stage I 96" motor, i.e. no head work and all other parameters stock. Static CR is 9.2 IIRC and it will take an early intake close cam to boost compression to get that low and mid range grunt. I love the Cyclerama cams, run the 595 in the 98" motor in my '05 FXSTD but the motor was built around a cam with 46*-48* intake close.

Thanks for all the input.
the Andrews 48 or woods 222 was my other choices just thought the easy starts would be a good root to ease starting process and wear and tear on starter.
i guess changing lifters would be wise as well?
thiughts on the oil pressure relief upgrade?
again bike has 50k miles on it
