Interesting cam question

Have an 01 electra glide. Need to replace cam tensioners. Would like to upgrade cams while doing it but cannot afford new hydraulic set up right now. Can i upgrade cams using stock set up? I know i will at least need adjustable push rods

Yes, go with an Andrews 26 and you'll have more power and room to do a big bore later and not have to replace the cams again. If you're going to use the stock style tensioners, go with the cyco tensioners. They appear to be made of better material than the stock and last longer.
