Disagree. As others have mentioned, the Andrews 21 comes on almost right off the line and pulls hard to 4800 or so. I haven't tried other cams, but for my riding style (80% solo w/o tour pack, 20% 2 up and loaded) the 21's are everything I hoped for. That said, I rarely see 4800 anyway.

Sorry, I forgot some of you think just bolting on cams makes a difference. I've had 88's bored out, changed to higher compression pistons, opened up intakes, changed exhaust systems etc and changed cams to complete the engine build. Just changing cams on a 88 and leaving the rest of the engine stock makes little sense to me. But to each his own.

I did the woods 408-44 cams. Really long duration (for the sound) but a bitch to tune for. Untill I went to thunder max. NO MORE problems Thundermax fixed it all!

and I thought changing cams was considered doing engine work. I have to totally change my outlook on engines now!!
