91 Heritage Softail Classic - Replacing Cam
Thoughts on EV46 or EV13? Or another all together? I want performance off the line with a good ride around town/short highway trips
EV13 - https://www.jpcycles.com/product/432-371
EV46 - https://www.jpcycles.com/product/432-373
Thanks in advance!

The 46 needs high lift springs IIRC.
I've been happy with my EV 27 in my '95 Heritage.

Of the two, the '13 but swop the top and bottom gaskets for thinner ones when you do the job to tighten it up a bit.
'46 you going to want to start doing work on compression etc.
Or a Head Quarters 0024.

I had the v thunder 3010 an it made my 99 fatboy a completely different bike...I think it's very similar to the ev 27...good down low but still has some top end to it. first time I rode with the cam I bounced it off the rev limiter a few times...with the stock cam I never hit it since it was falling off well before that.

EV13 is slightly biased for low to mid rpm with still plenty on top.
EV27 gets you a bit more on top at the expense of a bit less down low.
I have the EV-13 and a few things and can’t imagine my 80” relatively stock engine being built in any other manner for my riding style, needs, and usage. I am never looking for more anywhere.
