I'm like u I'm happy but allways wondered is there a holly grail of a cam out there to unlock tons of power. Last week I had my chance to ride 2 bikes that was the same year and model **** they were both even carb bikes Boy was I happy here's my chance to once and for all find this truth out. 1 bike was 95 inchs S&s 510 cams and S&s heads the bike sounds so mean so I tested the bike out and the owner was on my bike 95inch 9.3.1compression with ported polished heads and andrews 21 cam and my bike had more snap even the owner said mine ran better... 2 bike was 95 inch andrews 37 with Screamin eagle pro heads and it had a drop more power very little to fight over... After this I give up I'm leaving my bike alone... If u want a difference u have to go big like a 117 for hillside or something then u will have something...
Small world! Unfortunately I am working and cannot ride from Eagles. You guys are right about the springs I didnt think about that. Bike has
77,000 on it so Im sure those springs
will not handle the lift.
I am not opposed to getting honey comb springs though if I need to.
Even our Stage I Heads come equipped with our proprietary progressive wound(beehive) springs that handle .590/.600 lift.
More info on them on our web site.

I'm very happy with my andrews 21 build but next time I'm going to try something new I'll do 98 inch kit woods tw6-6 cams 10.3 compression and ported heads. . Maybe my next bike this one's done

It is very difficult to fix a bad combination
Looks like what you have is working but know also that there is ALOT more to be had within that 95" S&S combo you described.
