Whats the best all around performing cam for a twin cam 96". Do you prefer gear driven or chain drive?-
We have one cam that works well, it is 240 240 duration 510 510 lift. If the bike is heavy and a big rider we would use a 4 degree advance gear. We have a new cam that will be out in about 2 weeks, 242 242 duration 555 555 lift. These cams are a bolt in change nothing else. Let me explain the 4 degree gear, this will make the motor think it has more compression than it really does, this is called cylinder pressure, this gives the motor more bottom end and mid range. The gear drive will make a bit more power and less parts to wear out. The reason the gear drive will make more power is because it has less drag. Remember when you change air cleaner to let more air in, exhaust to let more air out, cams to make more power and torque you should install a power commander and have a certified dyno operator and tuning center to map and dyno your bike. Always remember torque torque torque, that is what makes things move. THANKS HOPE THAT HELPS G
