I in no way meant to down anyone's work, I've never used Big Boys, I was just asking Steve when he had his heads done was he sure the springs were not changed. Sorry if I upset anyone.

I don't feel you did anything of the sort. IMO, you asked a valid question and I wouldn't want anyone to think they shouldn't do that.
It was the comment that we charge $299 to "clean up" the heads that I was addressing.

I have the 585 cam with 10 to 2 comp. My bike rocks. I love this cam.

RE: What is the best bagger cam??
I'm happy with the 26's, I just want to add 10 to my numbers.............107 torque and 99 hp. If there was a cam that would give me the same exact curves as the 26's did, but get up over 100 on each...........I'd be very tempted to do it.
I'm not sure if that is possible with just a cam change, probably not. At 9.6-1 or 9.7-1, I could drop in a set of 37's and probably get to 100/100 like PhilM did.
Larger throttle body might help too, but at $400 I'm not sure it's worth it.
Man, just when I thought I was done...............I've been bitten by the Torquemonster-bug.
I think I just need to ride the bike as-is for a while, get a few thousand miles on it before making any judgements.

How about getting to 96 and 112?---I did with the Woods 6G--over 90 torq from 2600 to the max of 112 at 3500, runs like a raped ape
