Default Opinions on s&s 510c cam

Got a buddy who is a tech at a dealer, he has the s&s 510c cams, he wants to but these in my scoot. 09 sg with stock 96", performance machine ac, true duals and a screaming eagle pro race tuner. Just looking for some feedback on these cams and how they perform from someone that has used this cam.
Thanks

I am running s&s 509c cams and love the wide torque curve and power from idle to 4500 as advertised but seem to pull good to around 6000, am not sure about the difference between 509s and 510s without looking up- but s&s makes good stuff in general ,will be definatly be better than the stock cams --2000 electraglide classic 88" v&h try duals se a/c pc3

I'm running the S&S 510's with gear drive, It's the package you want. All the torque you need, The power ratio seems unlimited at times and find myself grinning like a kid. With only a 5 spd trans I pull big hills with ease and very little if any throttle. I have to back out so the 6 spd 103's can catch up............lol. Great setup! Highly recommended.

Thanks for the replies, keep them coming. Don't think I can pass up the deal.

Andrews 48 or a Wood 222 for plug/play application in a 96" engine.
S&S cam needs 10.0 cr.

My buddy's run them there better than nothing but way to soft for me in the bottom end way better choices out there. But if the price is right there better than stock

Too soft off the bottom as it REQUIRES 10.0 to show itself, and even then, a Wood 6 at 10.0 cr, will produce more coming up to torque peak.
