Post this question in the engine thread- you're more likely to get gear-head opinions. I've heard nothing but good about Mackie cams.

Yeah, I run a Dave Mackie Megasphere 95" in an '02 Fat Boy. I use his 590 cams and a 45m.m. Mikuni carb. It's an amazing set up. It actually seems to run cooler than stock, has been trouble free for 5 years, and hauls ***! The only problem I have is guys don't believe it's just a 95 incher. I'm not bragging, Mackie did the design, I just put it together and ride it. A lot of guys around here run his stuff and love it. His headwork is just beautiful. I'd highly recommend his headwork and piston combo.

I run Mackie cams with his heads and pistons. It's a combo that works well together. I don't know if he has a cam that is really great in an otherwise stock engine. You can call Dave. I suspect that other manufacturers may have a bigger selection of cams for otherwise stock motors. Call him. I only know how my stuff works, and thats a lot different than your application.

I suppose Ur talking bout the 510's.

there close to the SE's 203,204's; Andrews 26's, 37's; Headquarters TC500, HQ 0034's;
S&S 510, and of course the Woods....

any of these will net U some good power..

Check out this site to help U decide what the specs of all the cams above and more are.
