Default S&S Cams

If S&S dyno charts are any true indication, their 583 Easy Start cam has an awesome torque curve...

What catches my eye is the 583. It does have a slight dip from about 98>95ft-lb at 3500rpm but it also shows 90+ft-lb TQ from about 1700-5000rpm. That would appear to be a nice line of torque ??

I couldn't find a dyno on it but I just installed the S&S 510. I am very happy.

I disagree, take a look at this chart comparing STOCK cams to WoodsTW6-6 cams in a stock 96" with the Fuel Moto package and you will see that even the stock cams are very decent compared to a lot of guys charts with "upgraded" cams....... just saying.

Goes to show that there is much more than just cams to consider when looking at a bikes performance.

Both of those starters have to be close to melting.Another year with those cams should tell the story.I'm certain they will work out.
