100% sure, 255 green, 48 red line. Same bike - pipes, stock heads, 96"... tuned with TTS. GMR-Performance who is testing the 48's for Andrews did this.

Here are 255's on another stock 96". This bike has BUB 7 TD's. Tuned with TTS.

Apologies to the op, not trying to derail this thread.

no way i'd run 408-44 with stock heads...that cam starts to breathe right where your heads stop breathing...the 6-6 plus advance gear would work ok but is a lot of money...best bang for the buck IMO is the andrews 48, se255, or se204

by reading the specs of 408-44 is between the se204 and se211 so I say this cam will work very well with stock setup......time will show...

get some cams in that ride, I'd put a 4 degree advance in them though unless you like to run a bunch of rpms. You will noitce a big change without the advance but it will come on stronger at lower rev's with one

Thanks for posting that link - the TQ and HO curves of new Andrews 48 seem waaaay too similar to the SE 255 to me... I would have thought these new cams were really going to be something new and exciting...
