Why do I not see anything mentioned about S&S cams? Maybe there is and I just have not seen it. I've seen a lot of SE, Woods, Andrews, but not S&S. Is there some bad press about them or something? I've been looking into the S&S 551. It appears to be the counterpart to the SE255. Thoughts?

I don't want to start a bashing thread or anything, just wondering and exploring all options.

 

The Indy where I took my '11 FLTRX in for a tune, talked very highly of that cam. I already installed the Andrews 48H. He liked my choice for a 96" bagger, but he said the 48H and the S&S 551 are hard to beat! Funny how he menitioned the S&S 551 when I didn't even ask about it.
I'm real happy with my cam, but I don't think I could of went wrong with either. If you go with the 551 don't forget to post your dyno sheet!

 

Got the S&S Easy Start 551 in my '08 Street Glide and have no complaints at all. Bike starts easier now than it did stock and these cams have a nice torque curve too. I'd highly recommend either of the S&S Easy Start bolt in cams to anyone looking to upgrade who doesn't have or want to go through the process of doing the compression releases.

 

Good info. Thanks fellas.

 

Been running the S&S 551 since last October here in Las Vegas. Great cam. I added it when I installed the 103 BB kit on my 08 RG; couldn't be happier!
