Can you run stock compression on a 510?
I ran Andrew’s 510’s for sometime. That is a great cam. It likes 9.8 + compression. You can run stock compression. I will say you would feel the difference between them. Best of luck. +1 for the 510s. You’ll need to out rev/out ride them. Very do-able. if its in the budget). May consider a gear change as well…
Can a gear drive cam be used on a S & S 509?

What kind of tuner does a Arlen Ness use?
While I was in there, I replaced the inner & outer cam bearings, rebuilt the tensioners, added S&S Quickie pushrods, an Arlen Ness Big Sucker and a Power Commander 5 tuner. I just took it on a 10 mile test ride, brought her back into my shop and I am changing the engne, transmission & primary oil now.

How does the 510G gear drive kit work?
Installation was straight forward and easily done by the average biker liking to do his own work. The 510 cam performed as advertised and comes on hard after 3000rpm. My expectations were satisfied and I would highly recommend this kit to others.
