Default RE: Next Suggested Mod - Cam?

I put the S&S 510 G's in my 88" back in November, Aw some upgrade. I'm doing the GMR 98" cylinder kit and headsthis winter. If you can find someone that has the special tools that you need to do the swap,it's a easy job. I bought them and they are not cheap. Complete cam kit was $665.00 special tools another $300.00 at least. I have several guys i work with that want me to put in the gear drive cams for them, so I'll recoup some of the coin spent for tools.Anybody near me give a shout/PM, might be able to help you out.

Upgrading the heads would always be my first mod.

Who did you go with, and what build. Get me some info, if you have the time. I bet it pulls like a freight train. Also, did you do te work yourself, or have someone else do it (and cost)? Thanks

I replaced the camchains and tensioners on my
1999 RK Classic EFI by S&S 510G cams and gear drive.
I got more power and torque !
Also installed a Dynojet Powercommander USB111
Arlen Ness stage 1 Big Sucker airfilter
and SE pro performance exhausts (not quite streetlegal)
It was money well spent.
