I put a 103 kit in my 07 King, jugs, pistons, cams. I've been having valve issues ever since. The cams are 255's. I put Kibblewhite .600 lift springs in. Any Ideas?

Ok fellers i'm new here so direct me where i need to go if i am in the wrong place. I have a 2013 ultra classic and I am having Andrews 57H installed with new push rods, tappets, oil pump etc. Was curious if any of you know the increase in hp i will get with these cams. I have D&D Fatcat 2 into 1 exhaust and a power commander 5. I'm on here to learn because i am by no means a gear head and hope some of you can school me a bit

I'll be the first one to say it... there are a lot of miss information in the initial first few posts.... concepts that one explained then contradict himself in other areas of further explanation. The quick reference sections in particular contradict "in-depth" explained topics.

I see you are new to the forum. Not sure what "initial first few posts you make reference to but some are more than 10 years old. The most recent post is more than 3 years old. The OP is a "sticky" and intended as a refernce document not intended for back and forth with members. The follow on posted questions should have been posted in other forums so members could respond and answer.
