What is the difference in money? I figured the gear drive would be cheaper than a new cam kit with plate, oil pump, and all the chains and whistles. My old 2000 FLHRCI has about 50,000 miles on synthetic so I'm probably looking at one or the other myself.

Do all gear drives have to be under .030" on the crank run out? Or what? too noisy or premature wear?

Interesting discussion, thanks for the advice. Today 02:08 PM

Best I can figure gear drive is going to cost around $350 more than the upgrade kit. From what I have heard all have to be under .030" run out.

Good move but if you are replaing cams don't replace with another set of 203s; Andrews 26 is "pound for pound' the best cam for a TC88 cam only upgrade.

I have not really thought about any other cam choice, mostly because my bike is already tuned for the 203s. So what do you think about the Andrews 26 with the 95" kit already in my bike?

I think Joe Milton will disagree with that statement. He favored the Andrews 21 over the 26 for the 88" as well as the 95" upgrade. Search www.Harleytechtalk.org for Joe Milton 95 Conversion for a great read.
