lookin' for cam advice
« on: November 06, 2008, 07:28:41 PM »


Allright guys, here's one for y'all:

I have read all almost all the advice on cams for the 110" motor here. Seems popular opinion is to use the SE251 cam, BUT-
The service mgr at the dealer here suggests the SE257 cam & the motor guy swears by the 211 cam. (I run the 211 in my '99 FXDWG w/ big bore 95" & carb)

If I touch nothing but the cam, which is better?
If I go with 10.5 pistons & 50mm throttle body, which is better?

I'm looking for the pros & cons to each or which is better & with what...
I have 19K on the bike now - if that matters.

Please explain your opinion for each if you care to do so.
The service mgr stands by the 257 so much that if I'm not happy, he'll swap it out gratis.

I appreciate all opinions, even from Hoist... cuz I run Zippers TMAT, :D but also should I switch to a Race Tuner?

I ride alot of hiway miles & yet the motor rarely sees over 5000RPM.
I'm looking for performance from 2K-5K RPM (if that range is possible)

Thanks to all the folks who offer advice !!

cam only:  andrews 54 or if it must be screamin' eagle, the 211

don't buy the harley throttle body, it's crap (in my opinion)

horsepower incorporated 51mm and s.e. injectors and se251 cams

zippers t-max is fine

se257 will be weak unless you raise compression to 10.7
