2004 softail 88 cu. in. T55 cam

[garlow3]

 
Need some help Identifying Cams.
Recently opened the Cam chest on a, new to me, 2004 softail. The cams in this engine are marked T55.
I don't think they are Andrews TW55 cams but I am not sure what brand.
IF anyone could offer any help it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Branch/O'Keeffe had a cam designed called the T55, typically used on his 95" kits.

Does this Softail run exceptionally well? It probably has the whole Flowmetric kit; Mik45,Mik intake port matched to their #4 heads(80cc,1.940int valve) propriety CC matched 10.5:1 forged pistons(+8.5cc(JE or CP depending on year)). You should be cranking right at 200CCP

Just to give an idea as to what they are, if that's what they are.

Is there another cam that is closer to the T55 than the TW55. To my layman's eyes they're not that close.

This is just to compare with a known set of cams to see where the power is made on the T55 cams.

I was just wondering for my own benefit. Not to nitpick.
I was recommended the Andrews 55 but I believe that the T55 was the one matched to the Branch heads and perhaps they're not around anymore so it was just easier for Branch to say "TW55".

Thanks Guys! I am leaning toward the Branch Cams. The Bike is quick but the compression is low. I seeing 160 PSI on compression. Had a noise in the cam chest. Turned out to be failed inner cam bearing. Cam is damaged so will need a new cam. Was thinking of going back with same brand and spec cam if I can find a set.
Thanks for you help! world of Knowledge here on this site.

You wont find that cam anywhere. There are a lot of "IFs" but if you do have Branch heads(Check for a mirror polished intake runner)on top of a 3.885" hole(95") then they will recommend the TW55, Redshift577, S&S585. In that order from left side power to right.

As far as low PSI do yourself and me a favor and check again with a >=decent quality newer gauge. I've got a horror story built around bad readings from GOOD older gauges.

If you want similar timing, and you get that compression up from where it is, I'd probably go with the Andrews or Wood cams listed here. Assuming you want to stay at moderate valve lift.

The original poster hasn't been on HTT since May of 2020, so he may not answer you. 

You might want to start a new post giving your bike's year, model, etc., and what has been done to the motor. And what you want as far as low end, mid or top end power, etc.
