On a stock engine with upgraded carb and pipes, any thoughts on the evl3020?
On paper seems like a all rounder cam for street riding. Dyna 1up mostly living in the 3k rpm and up.

Exploring cams before I commit to a engine build for the winter.

@ racepres, Then you misunderstand my thoughts.
When sorting the bike two years ago, I added a super e, supertrapp, and dynatek 2000 iggy, all to replace problematic parts already on the bike.
The bike runs well now, and quite healthy to boot, but a little more never hurts?
I am pondering changing the cam, if I can get a good increase where I ride. With stock compression and the upgrades I've already applied seems the evl3020 might be a winner hence the original question.
If not, then I'll choose a different path, 1st being boring 30 over and going 9.5:1 pistons with a new cam and a little head work.
Otherwise, I'll just pull the current mill and drop in a S&S Long block in. Either the v96r or the v111.

No need to go .030" over.. But I would do at least 10.0:1... Wiseco 12.9 cc dome will get you there and then the W6. With everything else you have it should put you in the low to mid 80's.. Awesome package and will yield over 50 mpg touring with excellent street manners..

I'm sure there's others that do this build but this was back in the day one of Hillside's trademark builds when all we had was the Evos and the Shovels and it was such a economical power plant.. Not too crazy strong but had everything you really needed to move a 650 lb bike..
