cam gear drive
|
I'm thinking of going with the following mods on the (FI) 2004 EG STD:
S&S cam gear drive
Andrews 26G cams
|
Not a bad cam. Not agressive enough, though, IMO.
I'd probably use something a little more like a 44G.
But I really like an agressive cam.
Considering the issues that H-D has had with the
adjuster shoes, gear drive is not a bad idea. Remember
that it will create more noise.
Seems like I did read somewhere that Andrews uses
S&S gears. But I could be wrong on that. I'd call
Andrews and find out.

Fueling oil pump

Waste of money. Excellent part for a built engine
that needs it. Doesn't sound like yours does.

Power commander

Why are you putting the S&S gears on Andrews cams? Wouldn't it be
prudent to use all Andrews or all S&S?
This setup isn't going to need more oil than the stock pump provides,
what's your reasoning there?
I ran a 95" kit with Rinehart slip-ons, S&S 510G geared cams and PCIII
on my '05 FLHTCUI and loved how it felt.
Be aware that with the Screaming Eagle pipes, unless they're true duals,
you'll spin your wheels (figuratively) trying to get the rear cylinder
tuned.

Not a bad part, but old technology. The new wide
band closed loop tuners are so much better, I wouldn't
even consider anything else. What could be better than
an engine that tunes itself?
|
Terry Components Terminal Velocity II seems to be
the most popular, although there are a couple of others.

Skip the oil pump, and you're under budget!
Where do you live and ride? If it's >5,000' ASL,
you should really consider swapping pistons to increase
the compression ratio. Of course, that's your
"oppurtunity" to get more cubes ;)
|
The bike is currently stock other than the stage 1 mods with Screaming
Eagle mufflers from the dealer.
Just wondering if anyone here has a similar setup and if you're happy with
it.
Most of the riding will be with the wife on the back with about 70% of the
riding time on back roads at 55 to 60 mph and much of the rest on the
highways at 70 to 75.
Looking to get a little more ummph in the lower rpm range without boring
the cylinders or modifying the heads.
Appreciate any ideas.

Click on cam shaft selection form. This way you can make your own decision,
for my answer use that cam or one with a similar profile which you can
select from this web site. The power commander works good I've tuned one
before and had great results. SE mufflers also a good choice. There are many
ways to go I'd not be scared of what your looking into for using. As far as
the oil pump I can't see changing it out.

JMO, like other folks have said the pump is overkill,
if you just want to bump the pressure a little put in a
Baisley relief spring ($15).
I forget who makes what, but both the gear drive sets
(S&S & Andrews) are made by the same mfg. I'm
thinking Andrews is the mfg and they supply S&S.
S&S offers everything you need in kit form with their
cams. It's a nice kit and a little cheaper like that. Even
if you use Andrews cams the S&S install kit is handy.
I bought a 510 kit. For me I found the 510's were
a little soft till you hit 3K+ and I had a reversion problem
as well. So I pulled the gears off and got Andrews 21g
cams and put them in. Pulls like a tractor down low
and no reversion. Recently dynoed at 73.61 HP,
with 52K miles on her. The 26's should make a little
more power, but at a little higher rpm than what I've got.
BTW I'm still at 88". If you're interested in how much and
where the 26's will make power look in the dyno section
of the HTT list.
Here's one example, although not a great one.

My first objective is to get the cam chains out. This isn't going to be
much of a build but I wanted to take the opportunity to get some cams
that will help this bike out in the lower rpm range.
I thank you for sharing your experience with your set up. Like Roger
said, it may get confusing. I was reading about the Terminal Velocity II
module last night and may add that to the mix.
|
You can scroll through the HTT archives and probably find
one that mirrors your proposed build.
Have fun.
