Cam Help
I am considering installing the S&S 106" big bore kit, complete with their Super Stock heads, on my 2008 Heritage. Have already put on V&H true duals, SE Heavy Breather, and PC III. I am not a speed demon, so I am looking for suggestions on which S&S cams to use? I also want it to have a nice 'lumpy' low idle... I know there is a gazillion brands out there, but want to stick to S&S.

Other than just telling us all what Ur doing..
Why don't U talk to Ur builder or one of the Pro builders and see what they'd say...
It'd/I'd put 100 times more faith in what they'd say,, rather than ask most in here that don't have any idea of WTF Cam to use in Ur build..
In a BB motor with Headwork and high compression U have to have all componentes to go together,, not just what worked in someone's else's build...
Save all Ur talk for later after the build..

Since you are going all S&S your best bet would be to take OCT1949's advice and talk to a pro. I'm sure that if you called S&S and talked to them about what you want to get out of this build they would probably have all the answers you need. On a side note for not being a speed demon you are going to have one hell of a fast bike when you are done!

Thanks for your feedback Uncle Chester, I have a call into S & S, just waiting for a reply. But in the mean time, I thought I would throw this out to the forum just to see what responses I get. ( only got 3 as of today ) Hmmm..

oct1949, It's not that I was going to follow someone else's build, just wanted feedback on comparable setups, you know, just "chewin' the fat" on a forum...but based on the responses I got, there ain't much interest,
of course I am going with the advice of my pro-builder and S&S.

Thing is I did a survey thread back 3-4 yrs ago on who does what to their bikes, as far a motors.
Seems like the answers was something like
30% don't mess with them, leave everything stock.
50% do only Stg 1.
12% do Stg1 and cams.
8% do Stg1, cams, and BB kits.
So not all that many do cams and very few do more than that.
That's why U wont get very many answers about what to use with a build like Ur doing.
Mostly U'll get I know a buddy that has a friend that put in a Whatever cam and his bike flys..
And like I said above its better to talk to several builders who has and knows what makes a good build that's street worthy and will last.
