Default Cam upgrade for my 103

Hey folks! I have a 2013 ultra classic and I am having Andrews 57H installed with new push rods, tappets, oil pump etc. Was curious if any of you know the increase in hp i will get with these cams. I have D&D Fatcat 2 into 1 exhaust and a power commander 5. I'm on here to learn because i am by no means a gear head and hope some of you can school me a bit

I have a 2013 FLHTK with de-catted head pipe, 57H's, custom A/C and Power Vision with a starter map from Fuel Moto. My
better half doesn't rider with me much so the cam choice is ok - if she did the 48H would have been better. Why the oil pump -
yours has the updated one? Your looking at 95 hp & 110 tq properly tune and it's a very significant difference. Be sure to replace
your inner cam bearings with some decent ones while your at it.

G'day kmast,

welcome to HDF.

I will be your tour guide. Be sure to read the manual before posting ok mate?

Or we will have discipline you and if you don't "get it" we will need to discipline you biker style.

Now, for your orientation. Go down the hall on your left to the 1st room. No, wait. The 1st room on your right. That is where the commissary is.

Then you will see doors marked for the mortuary, skeet shooting, a room where we make fun of In-Jun bikes, and of course we have a ahh, umm, oh yeah a across the hall.

We had a BOMB MAKING room but, well, ahhhhh, 1 of the guys just didn't understand Blasting Caps very well so..... you know.

We have our own pub .

There are several places where you can familiarize your self with the .

So don't be a wall flower watching others . Get involved.

See you around mate. I am going to the commissary now.

**** ON THE SERIOUS SIDE ****

**** I AM NOT ONE TO GIVE ADVICE ON HOW HDF WORKS BUT… ****
**** AND THE FOLLOWING IS UNOFFICIAL ****


​​​​​​​You are in the “New Members Area” where you can introduce yourself and let us know what Harley Davidson bike(s) (if any) you ride/own.

If you have questions about engines, exhaust systems, audio issues, etc… then:

1) Please go to the upper corner and Roll Over “Forums”

2) Then come down to and Roll Over “Harley Davidson Tech & Mechanical Forum”

3) Then come down to the section that would be most appropriate for your question like Audio Systems, Engine Mechanical Topics, Exhaust System Topics, etc… and CLICK on the topic you have a question about.

You will find the knowledge here is EXCELLENT and these here mates are willing to help you in any way they can. ‘juss be careful. There are some “Trolls”, so I suggest just ignoring them ‘ole farts.

See you around HDF. Come often, we have a humor thread, game thread, and a LOT of other stuff.

Have A Great Day Mate,

BuzzCap7

Ok....my better half rides with me occasionally. When i spoke with Andrews they didn't mention anything about passengers and such. I got the 57H off a recommendation from my father and my neighbor because they run the EV27 and the 57H is the most comparable to the EV27. The oil pump was a recommendation from my mechanic which is why it was replaced. I replaced the cam bearings with Timken. Also had to replace the tappets due to the coating on the rollers flaking off. Was told that Harley outsourced to Mexico and that issue is common
