Default S&S 509 cams

Looking for a low end torque cam. Has any one had any dealings with the S&S 509?
Thanks
Jeff

We have been using the 510 and S&S has been pushing for us to try the newer 509 but we have yet to use it.

Thanks what I like about the 509 over the 510 has less valve duration. I pull a HD sidecar and want as much low and torque as I can get with in reason.
Thanks
Jeff

Thought I would bump this to see if any one has any experience with the S&S 509 cam. According to S&S listing it says it is good from idle to 45K rpm and I want my torque to come on as low in the RPM range as possible.
Thanks
Jeff
