103 Build opinion
I'm going ahead with a 103 . 103+ pistons , keeping my Headquarters Heads .
The question is has anyone put Andrews 585 gear drive cams in a build like this ?
I've heard that gear drive cams can be noisey but that doesn't bother me .
I will put up with a little noise to avoid the cam tensioner issues .

Right now I'm running a 95" 10.5-1 CR. SE 257 cams, Power Comander .
VH True Duals with VH turn downs . Dyno numbers are 100/102.
Mileage sucks but I will deal with that .
I ride 20k min a year . I've been in 30 states this year so reliability is important .
But I like to run 80mph or more when I can .
Don't need more power just want more . Short attention span I guess .
The new build will be 10.5-1 again . Premium only again .
Looking at Andrews 59G or 67G or something from S/S .
I will call HQ . I'm very happy with the work they did on my heads 3 years ago .
Just looking for some experience you guys may have had . I realize it's sometimes only opinions .

I have 54H gear drives and I can't hear them except for when sitting stopped and pulling out off idle. Other than that I NEVER hear them. I love mine.
