DISCLAIMER: THIS IS A REPRINT TOPIC FROM "OLD" HTT

I have saved many great topical discussions as "links" over the years and would hate to see these lost, so I am reprinting this TOPIC here, which may "perhaps" help some.

I had a V-THunder 3020 in my 95 RK. Put over 30,000 miles on it and was happy.
Just recently changed from the 3020 to a Screaming Eagle SE-4 for more lower end.
The V-Thunder worked good.    Mav

Yes, I installed a V-thunder 3010 in my Father's '97 Electraglide Standard.  I prefer the 3020 myself, but he frequently tows a small camper trailer (a "time out").  This cam is very good on the road.  Comes on fairly early and then goes to about 4500 rpm.  Dad likes it and says that even with the trailer he has no trouble.

I picked V-Thunder because the 3000, 3010, and 3020 have very "easy" valve ramps.  Therefore, you don't need to replace the OEM valve springs and the cam is VERY quiet.  Not the clicky-clacky of many other aftermarket cams.  Good choice!

Do it! The V  thunder will blow the doors off the EV27 that it compairs to. It will also do it quietly!!! unlike the EV27....evostroker
