Installed New Cams
Wanted to give a quick report.
Removed my S&S 585 gear drive cams and installed the S&S 570. My riding style doesn't mesh with the 585 cam. Dropped in all 4 new bearings & new Jim's Powerglide lifters.
I have no dyno runs as of yet to report the HP/TQ differences. Soon as I get that I'll chime in with the numbers.
I will say, after about 400 miles of riding, I like the 570's a lot better. Rolling on the throttle in 6th gear at 2600 RPM, the motor just pulls right on out.
Definitely a smoother cam, for me.
My biggest complaint with the 585 was, to use 6th gear and have the power there if I needed it, I'd be running 85 mph. That's not my riding style.
Using 6th gear with the 570 cam and having the power there, I was cruising about 75 mph...which is about as fast as I like to cruise.
Anyway, I'll chime in with more feedback as soon as I get some more seat time and a dyno run.

The 585's, you just had to wind the hell out of it to get it to go. If I wasn't running 3000 RPM, it was a slug.
I really like the way this cam pulls.
I'll have Dyno info later this week.

Im glad you got the results you were looking for. I am going to look very seriously at the 570 in the next couple of weeks. I know what you mean about having to run high RPMs with the 585. Thanks very much for the update.
