EV 27 is a pretty proven cam. EV 23 is also a good one.
When choosing cams it's easy to get caught up in all the numbers. A wise old indy once told me to always go one cam under what I "thought" I needed and I've never been sorry.
Good exhaust will often give you a lot of power for the money as well.........
Enjoy the build!

I'm happy with my EV 27 cam. Did the install a few months ago. Replaced the inner cam bearing with a Torrington, as well as new hydraulic lifters. Re-used the stock cam gear, as recommended on here. Nice power band.

Thumbs up Andrews EV-3

gear and setup info that'll make sure you get a good result.

Go chromemoly with the pushrods screaming eagle quick installs are the cheapest I would recommend leaving it alone but if you must do it go with the v thunder cam from comp cams evl-3010 is a good one

holy catfish, lots of andrews fans here, i think all the woods lovers went into hiding , heres my take, the 27 is a great bolt in cam and responds very well to a compression bump, but they tick, with original cam gear or not, theyre loud, to me, whats acceptable to me, might not be acceptable to you, so do your research, i know i always preach it, but a vthunder 3010 is just a excellent cam as the 27, for the same price, and i guarantee theyre quiet. just saying.
