Which is better a 509 or a 510 Cam?
If that’s what will seal the deal the 510 wins, if the actual road feel and torque in the riding range are most important the 509 wins especially on a 88″ with stock compression. Did you find the recommended reading relevant to this discussion?
Can a gear drive cam be used on a S & S 509?
If the cranks straight, you could go with gear drive cams and loose the spring loaded tensioners. But with the new wear pads available from the aftermarket, that’s not a big of an issue as it used to be.
What should the RPM be on an S & S 509?
And will rev to 5500… the stock 103’s revenue to about 4800…. increase your rpm by using a 23-24 tooth engine sprocket with the 510 cams.. shooting for a 3:30’s final ratio… they may still big end you but up to 80-90 you can run with them.. at 60mph on the highway your rpm will be around 2400… I ran Andrew’s 510’s for sometime.
What kind of Cam does a 95 ” Harley Davidson use?
I did the 95″ conversion on my 2000 FXDS back in 2001 to SS570 gear, wiseco 10.5 to 1 then later changed out to SE 10.25 teflon skirted pistons… Head work , ported and flowed with Manly valves and springs.
