The bike has the EV27 cam now, I hope not to have to change the cam.

What is the cam lift on the stock cam for a 1996 Ultra Classic and the lift of the EV27 cam, and the rocker ratio?
Thanks

I measured the cam lift, at the lifter and got .291", if the rocker arm ratio is 1.61, then the lift at the valve would be .469". I have a service manual, but the rocker arm ratio is not in the manual, but I did find some after market rocker arms that where 1.61 ratio.
Not enough lift for it to be the EV27 cam. I am thinking the cam is stock.

Now that I know that my cam is stock and not the EV27 cam that I thought it was, I can now tune the power commander for the stock cam, and then I will decide if I need a different cam. Amazon has a bunch of Andrews EV cams, including the EV27 and the EV13, for $114, they have the bearing also.
I might just order one and hang on to it until I am ready to install it.

Today I ordered the EV27 cam and the Torrington B-138 bearing from Amazon, $128, shipping and taxes included. Should be here by Christmas.
