Default ANDREWS 48H do they start hard with a hot engine ?

Hey guys ... I'm all camed out here. I have a 2007 FLHT stock except for air cleaner and exhaust. I want to do a cam and have kind of decided on the andrews 48H. I can't find anything on how thew bike starts after it is hot ? The local dealer says to go with the S&S decompression cams. I told him, I'm not increasing the compression. I like what I read about the 48 but haven't seen any complaints about hard starting ? Maybe because its not an issue ? How the heck did we ever make out years ago with out the FORUM ???

I put a set in an 07 UC and they worked well. No compression releases needed. You will need a fuel management device though.

Just use the big boyz compression calc and run the numbers. If your ccp is 190 or above, I'd think about needing the releases.
