After doing a lot of reading about the Andrew 21's and 26's cams. I'm also getting ready to do the 21's in my 05 deuce . My only concerns were hot starts but I believe the number of people with this problem was very small. I'm also going with the 07 cam support plate .

Anyone with experience with the Fueling 525 reapers? Seems like a good bolt-in cam? Also, If I do the work myself, what all will I need, I know since I have the 06' I keep hearing to replace the cam tensioners, and I know to get new push rods, but anything else?

You can post your question on the Engine/Fuel/Intake/Exhaust board in the tech section. Those guys live for cam discussions.

[QUOTE=ajmilberg;12074306] I might go big bore or head work later on, but not remotely any time soon.[QUOTE]

Why not do the build you really want so you don't have to buy two sets of cams and go into the cam chest twice?

Lack of funds and uncertainty on how long I'll keep it before I go newer or touring.

Bolt in Andrews 48 with no headwork. Looks a little wider than that to me. This is on a 95 degree day at 5000 feet above sea level and with my clutch slipping.

Holy ****, you may have me sold on the Andrews 48's, all that with no headwork? What tuner are you running?
