Question for Hoss on the Andrews 54 cams

[TXHogrider]

Hi Hoss,
Don't you run a set of Andrews 54 cams in a twin cam?  I'm looking at using them for mine and I have a few questions for you.
What compression are you using and what is the CCP?  Do they have good low speed manners (my bike is a daily driver and I ride in traffic and through neighborhoods and parking lots), or do they prefer to be kept at a higher rpm range?

I also run Andrews 54 cams.

My 2009 bagger is 107", 11:1 c.r., with Axtell Mountain Motor pistons, ported heads, S&S 58mm Throttle Hog, S&S air cleaner, stock pipes with Rush mufflers.

The bike is very calm in normal riding, but pulls like a locomotive when I get on it, and it easily brings the front wheel up a little on a rolling wfo pull.

Due to my high compression ratio, it was timing sensitive, but easily adjusted. Generally, 54's work very well with flat top pistons at 10:1 c.r. with excellent manners. These are great cams if you want strong low and mid-range power.

Thanks SP33DY, that's exactly what i was hoping to hear.  I am boring and stroking a 2005 softail to 103", porting the heads with 1.9" intake valves, and compression around 10.2 - 10.3 depending and how for the pistons are down in the cylinders at TDC. I'll be using stock manifold, S&S intake, and due to my styling choice, I will hamper it with true duals and fishtail glasspack mufflers.  It will still be soooo much better than the stock 88"!

I am running gear drive 55's, they are soft on the bottom end, but pull like crazy on top end, the way I wanted it set up. Couldn't tell you compression, running SE flattops, 95". This is almost 20 year old build, so some details lost.

This one is 10.4:1 hope this helps,all the info is on the bottom of the sheet.You cannot see attachments on this board.

RTMike, thanks.  That's a good looking graph.  Probably a shape close to what I'll end up with using true duals.  Mine might be slightly lower since it will probably be a point or two less compression than yours.  I assume your riding impression is the same as SP33dy? 
 I'm sure I'll be happy.


Hoss, thanks for responding, for some reason I thought you used 54 cams.

Thanks for posting RTMIKE,  that is one extremely nice result.

What pistons did you run?  And what was exactly done to the heads?
Cheers
