Bolt in cam options?
I have a 93 Heritage with cycle shack pipes (baffles out power cones in) and a S&S super E, it has about 50 thousand miles on it (I've had 2 HD speedo's take a **** on me ?) and I never changed the cam bearing. I figure it might go any time and grenade the motor, while I'm changing that I might as well up grade the cam. Anyone have any advice on this? I was thinking of using tapper lite adjustable push rods and wanted enough cam to make a difference (trying to keep up with the twin cams) but don't want to make a lot of engine mods. Money is a major play but I don't half *** anything on the bike.
Thanks!!
Thanks!!

We use the Wood's w-6 series cams a lot in an engine like yours along with the Taper lites. What's your riding stydo you ride one up or two up, highway or city, aggressive or cruiser. All of the previous should influence your cam choice. Hope this helps.

the EV 27 did wonders for mine but I later heard good things about the EV 13.
I do mostly the same type of riding as you and am really satisfied with the 27.

Just to let you know when I installed the 27 I had some gear whine for a while but it went away after a while.

You have three recommendations so far. I used an EV27 for many years, although I would pick an EV13 with what I know now about them. I am sure either will give excellent results and probably the Woods as well.
