Can't say anything bad about either, but you will pay more for Andrews, 'cause you still have to buy the gears from S&S, as far as I know. I have 510G's and like 'em.

THE ANDREWS IS A BIT MORE AGRESSIVE.

I have the S&S 510G. I've alway's been very happy with the perfomance but ever sence I've went to Big Bore and 10.5:1 compression I get alot of pinging at low RPM. From what I found the S&S 510G is not made for higher compression engines. So next winter I'm going to swap the cams for something else. At this time I don't know what I'll be going with. In the meantime I'm using alot of octan booster to help with the pinging.

10.5:1 is WAY to much compression for a 510. They are good cams but you can bet they will ping if you exceed 9.7:1.

Easy fix... replace those HC pistons w/flat-tops.
