Default 203 cams only

I want to address those on the forum who have the 203 cams in their bikes and who are keeping 203 cams in their bikes what are some of best combinations using these 203 cams to get the most out of your harley for horsepower and torque?

I would like to hear moslty from those forum members with 203 cams only and who have not and will not be changing from 203 cams out of their bikes.

Downshift.

203's are typically OK above 3k RPM.

I don't fit your requested demographic, because I yanked mine after about 6 weeks. At the time (in 2001), I went to Andrews 26's & the difference was like night & day.

In response to your question... Exhaust selection really helps or hurts torque and where it is.

Those duals you have to not help on the bottom, while the D&D FatCat really does help low-end torque (kinda like Andrews 26, HQ0034, Woods 6).

I am not concerned about anything.All i just did was start a thread about 203 cams and those people on the forum who have them and are going to keep them.
Also what would be some of the best combinations [exhaust,heads,air cleaner,ect...]using these 203 cams of getting the best horsepower/torque?

the first owner of my bike did a 95" big bore kit, 203 cams, V&H BSL, SE a/c kit and had it dyno'd. I am very happy with how the bike runs although I do not have a basis for comparison when it was still a stock TC88.

I ran 203 cams in a stock 88" twin cam when they first came out. As a matter of fact, these cams came out before the first 95" kits. Cams alone destoyed the bottom end. When available (about 6 months later) I installed the 95" kit with 9.5:1 compression. Did the stage II flash and had White Brothers E Pipe, 2-1, 12 discs. Bike ran GREAT with that combo.

Oh yea, if you are getting those numbers from your setup then my BEST advise is to leave it alone!

Do you know what the dyno readings were with your 203 cam set up?what is it for you that you like to keep it the way it is for your style of riding?
