A lot of people have their opinions on the best performing cams, but which ones give you the best potato potato sort of sound?

 

if your trying for a shovel head potato sound it will never happen in a twinkie.
as far as a lope sound from a cam imo wood cams have the best sound and performance

 

one that will run like a scalded dog at 6000 rpm ,but won't make shizz for torque at 2500.

 

I've heard several on here say the SE 204 sounds great and is a good performing cam (even in a bagger) as well. I was considering using it myself

 

it takes work but apparently it IS possible to get the shovel sound from a twin cam:

 

When my 88ci was upgraded to the 95ci Stage 2 kit, they put SE203's and I am very happy with them. They sound great with my "diy duals" and CFR knockoffs

 

Motor Won't last long at 700 rpm's

 

This!...The cranks are not forged anymore, (now they're cast,) and the last Timken Lefty bearing for Harley cranks was discontinued on '03 (though you can still buy it from the Screamin' Eagle Parts book for performance minded folks.) My 2000 has 145,000 miles on it and has never idled below 1100.

700 rpm will hurt a Twinkie motor sooner than later.

I agree.
this is not my bike in the video

 

the bearing and crank can be upgraded. That 777 does sound good.
