Default Cam recommendations please

95" 10.25:1 with mildly ported heads and stock springs Road Glide. What will give the best low end torque without changing the stock valve springs? I am putting the S/E cam plate upgrade with the bigger oil pump. Not interested in gear drives of other cam plates.

I avhe a set of Andrew's 26"'s but did a little research and it seems they are designed for stock compression. Your suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Andrews 37, Andrews 54, crane 575, I'm sure there are others, but that's what comes to mind.

I actually ran a 54 in a high comp (10.5) 95" it was impressive. Power started around 2800 and was wicked all the way to the limiter. I didn't have much headwork, just a cleanup.

Call Bean in Maine or someone who is not biased towards one particular product.
Frank Drago of Drago's bikeworks is objective too.

I want power from 2000 rpm on. 2800 is a little late in teh band for a bagger in my opinion. I'll make a few calls when I get a chance. As the biek si now with the se 251 power hits around 3000 which makes no sense on a bagger. On my Dyna the Andrew's 37's are great but that is a completely different kind of ride. Maybe Scott from Hillside will reply. He seems to be quite knowledgable on the subject.

I'm running Andrews 48's now, and they make peak torque at 2200. But you've got way too much compression for them.

You may want to consider these:
Woods TW-555
Woods TW-777
S&S 570 (could go with a gear drive with this cam)

These would all work well with a 95" with your 10.25 compression. With your comination and the head work the TW-555 or S&S 570 would be a great compliment to the rest of your parts.

Good luck.

Thanks but the TW 555's are for newer bikes. Will this work with the S?E cam plate upgrade? I am not sure. My bike is an 05.

Are you running the Se plate or hybrid plate that requires 'n' cams?

I really liked the SE 204 in my 95" Fatboy. i plan on using them in my 103" RG as well this summer. Power is strong from idle up

Here is just one of many posted sheets
