Default Cam’s for Rocker C

Hi I’m thinking about putting new cams in my 08 Rocker and was looking at the Vance&Hines anyone used them before? Any other suggestions or ideas would be great

I have no experience with V&H cams.....

The topic of cams for a Twin Cam engine has been discussed a lot over the years.... you need to decide where you use power for your riding style, and then look for a cam that gives you the torque/HP you need in those areas...

Many, many good choices based on your needs. Just remember, the best cams in the world are gonna suck without a good tune....!!!!!

If you searched cams in this forum, you'b probably get a weeks worth of reading.... and a lot of good information to help you narrow your choices...

In a pinch, if you are having a shop you trust do the work, talk to them about your needs and heed their recommendations....

If you're doing the work yourself... do your homework (read, read, and then read) and call one of the site sponsor vendors.... Tell them what you are looking for in performance, and get their recommendation...

Good luck

What else do you have done to the bike? Fueling and Comp Cams have some great stuff for late model twin cam engines. I've got the Comp #TC-3102 going in my 96". My buddy has the same in a dyna, like 95 HP and 100 TQ with a cheap 2 into 1 and SE breather.

Andrews 48
Cyclerama 570 or 575

Call Scott at Hillside Cycle or Kirby at Vee Twin cycle. Both are site sponsors and super knowledgeable.

Check the engine and mechanical section of the forum. Tons of threads on cams. Good luck.
