I pulled my 86 fxr down to replace lifters and found a sifton 141 "warrior" cam. Is this a decent cam? I am unsure of the rest of the engine combination since I bought it used however I do know it has ported heads and higher compression pistons, unsure of bore size or stroke. It has a screaming eagle replacement carburetor and 2 into 1 exhaust. If this is not a decent cam can anyone point me in the direction of a suitable replacement? Sorry for the vague information but it is all I know at the moment. Thanks for any help.
this site has info on a bunch of cams for Harley motors. Scroll down into the Evo section, and you will find the specs on the Sifton 141 cam you have. You can then compare it to others that you are thinking about. Hope this helps
