Cam Questions

EVO type lifters are superior to shovel hydraulic in every way...shovel hydraulic lifters are troublesome at best..why do think you see so many shovels converted to solids...not all of the kits require you to use an EVO cam.

You really need to look into the Vthunder series by Competition Cams then, they are designed for hyd. Lifters and anything but the entry level cam does need high lift spring kits they have a couple sweet low to mid range torque monster cams for stock or smaller big bore's. Start making ponies as low as 1500rpm to about 5k, I swear by them. Huge benefit is the valve train noise they kill also my shovels quieter than most twinkies for upper end noise.

As I mentioned, an Andrews #2 grind is one of THE BEST cams for a stock compression Shovelhead ever designed.
Been down the looooooooong road with many other manufacturer's over the past 30 years in business, and since I started working on HD's back in 1978.
Drag raced an 80", 92", and a 101" Shovel in AHDRA, and ECRA, and then Modified Class 108" Evo.
Many work very well if more compression is introduced, but the Andrews #2 cam is the guy, at the OE squeeze, just needs springs.
Not trying to sell anyone a set of springs, or a cam, just sharing what we know.

One of these and a good lifter kit like Vulcan or Jims is one the best upgrades you can do for a shovel without changing a lot like the evo oil pump mod which I've found tends to over oil the upper ends unless you do the restriction mod to the feed line fitting.

I opened up the cam chest. The cam has an S on it. What kind of cam is that? Also, one of the tappet guide blocks was cracked, the rear one had the inside rear corner cracked off and just sitting there under the bolt. Is it ok to just replace the one tappet guide? These are probably dumb questions, but I'm kinda new to this. Thanks.

second if it is a Andrews its a knuckel cam for a flat side motor i do not think you have that
i do not use comp cams cams so if they have an S that is going to be what it is
