Default 264 cams

Has anyone ever run 264 cams in a 95 inch motor? I got high compression pistons already. I am sending out the heads this winter. I got a great deal on the cams if I want them .

Those cams are listed in the 2011 SE catalog but not in the 2012 catalog, so they may have been dropped from the list.

Those cams are meant for big inch motors, like 113" or larger; they would not be a good fit in a 95" engine. You have the cart before the horse; cams should be selected first and build around the cams. If you are looking at SE cams, there are a couple that might work in a 95", depending on how you ride, SE201 or SE211. Very different cams and, since you already have pistons, headwork will be different for each cam. That's why you need to select cams first.

Very sound advice that many should follow!
