It would help to know what's not to like about the 570-2; it should be a good fit at 10.2 static with off idle torque that carrys out on a flat curve providing instant torque across the power band.

Has the build been tuned? Do you have a chart? If so post it.

JMHO but I would not toss the 570-2 for any of the cams listed by the OP. Unless looking for less low rpm torqued and more mid to high horsepower.

If looking for torque, a better set of mufflers will help. Crusher Mellows or even the OEM muffler recored with Full Sac baffles.

I would still like to know of the motor was tuned and, if it was, see the chart. Must be a reason the OP is looking to make a change.:icon_shrug;

Get it tuned now, guaranteed you are not getting the most out of the setup.
