I was told by an HD tech that the 211 is a decent cam for my SG?

I am putting together a few things for a later build but for this season I would like to do a bolt in cam just to wake her up a bit.

Any suggestions?

I mostly ride 1up and I weigh in at 300lbs. I have a Bassani 2x1 newley installed with 0 miles so I don't know how it reacts....

 

i would suggest looking at Head quarters cams or andrews 26s are great bolt in cams. i have the 26s with 95 no head work and got 90.8hp 96.4 tq, and hits 90 ft at 2300 and holds above 90 til 5200. both head quarters and andrews will give good power on a stock 88 though.

 

I agree with Allen. Both HeadQuarters HQ-0034 & Andrews 26 are great choices. This is for that StreetGlide, right?

 

Thanks!

 

Other than the Bassani pipes, I don't see you listing any other mods...but I'll assume you did the rest of the stage I with breather and either a reflash to your ECM or went with a power commander or similar.

It doesn't really matter, because in either case, without added cubic inches and increased compression that 211 cam will fall flat on its face with a soft bottom end. The only way I'd run that cam without atleast 10 to 1 compression and 95" is on a small light bike with a light rider. The SE 204 isa much better cam for your needs...a little 'hotter' than a 203 with much stronger midrange than the 203 while still retaining excellent low end torque.

The other cams that have already been recommended I'd advise as well. I'd say your dealer tech is still relatively inexperienced to recommend that cam to you at your size with that bike. FWIW, I'm a little bigger than you yet and have run a SE 203 in my bike, while my Father in law ran the 204 in a similar build in both 88" and 95" motors....Now we are both running Andrews TW-55G cams in our high compression 95's...so I've been through all the motor stages you are looking at now.

 

Thanks! I had the 204s in my softail with the 95. The only reason I am waiting on the rest is because I want to much to fast and I don't have the $.

I am sure I am not the only one in that boat. I am on the list for a set of wheels from the CNC wheel guy aka denispetit. So it looks like a little later in the year I might be able to afford the motor.

I just can't stand the flat stock cams.... I figure for a few bucks a set of cams might satisfy? Some people might think it is a waste but i did just a cam in an old Chevy and it turned it on so what the heck.

I do have a SERT and the stage one along with the Bassani.

 

Previous to 2006 models, the heads severely restricted air flow, and I would have suggested you focus your money there first....but in 06 the heads are purported to flow something like 10% more than previous models, so you'll actually recieve more of the benefits a cam swap can give you.

 

Here's a link to cam shaft specs; you will find the SE 211, HQ-0034, and Andrews 26, along with a ton of others.

Thanks so far!

anybody got some for sale?

 

Unfortunately, the specs are like reading greek for 95% of us. I know lift is one of the primary focuses of everyone, but lobe seperation angle, timing and duration are just as important; not to mention valve size in the heads etc.... It's better to tell a professional how you ride and what you ride and have them recommend a cam, than to look at a listing of specs and try to guess which one will make the most power for you.

There are quite a few guys over on HTT that know what all those specifications will add up to for performance though.
