I'm coming up to 30,000 miles on SG! My engine is a 88 and I'm looking for advise/suggestion on new cams!
Will I really feel a big difference in performance with new cams on that size engine? Any other input would be great!
thanks in advance

Let me give you what i found out....i have the S&S 585 gear driven in mine....i wanted to be able to go fast on highways.....my mistake...i never run the rpm's above 4-5k ...so these cams don't come alive.....because of all the crap i did to my bike, i am not about to change to another cam manufacturer and my compression rules alot of other cams out. So i will simply put either the 583 or the 551.......hopefully it will not be painful.

I also upgraded to the '95 ....

Make sure you do your homework before deciding.... Talk to the experts at your local HD that actually does the upgrades...not your normal tech.

Good luck....

 

S&S 509. Yes you will feel it. If it's efi it will need to be tuned.

 

This. Make sure you get cams that complement your bike and riding style...

 

Going to a 95" will be the best bang for your buck.

 

Might as well do cams when doing tensioners. My fav 88 cam are Andrews 26. Yes ya will will feel it.
