Default Cam upgrade

So tomorrow I go to drop off my Scoot at the shop to get a cam upgrade and I told him my style of riding, so.., he mentioned the S&S 551 or the Chris Rivas 574 cam and he will also Dyno tune it. As of right now I have stage 1 with 75hp & 91.96 just wondering how much more power I will gain or if anyone has any experience with these cams?

I have a 2012 SG and was dead set on Andrew 57.
I had several conversations with Zack at Kendall Johnson and he said the S&S 551 is the cam to use. It will give more usable power than the Andrew 57.


I'm not familiar with the S&S 551 and I haven't heard much about it but if Kendall Johnson recommends that cam (they're resting their strong reputation on that cam), then that's the cam to go with. They're known for doing engine work and amazing modifications.

Thanks, I went for the 551, at the shop now and should have it back in a couple of days.

Are you using the same Dyno operator? Lol! Use 10 different dynos and you'll get 10 different readings.
Never get hung up on the numbers is all.......

Had the 551 installed in my 103.... almost 112 torque and 87 HP... wasn't the best tune but a huge improvement from what I had....
