This is probably an ill-informed question, for I am still leaning about horsepower, torque, CAMS, etc.
With an EV46 CAM and a bunch of other upgrades, the ’99 Fat Boy is putting out 80 horses @ 5,500 RPM. However, my riding style is such that I am not ever at the range of RPM. At about 3,000 – 3,200 RPM, I am cursing between 90 and 100 MPH. This is plenty for me and I will probably never exceed it. So, here is the question: How can I “move” to 80 horses from the 5,500 RPM level to the 3,000 level? Is it as simple as changing the CAM to an EV27, for example, or is it more involved than that?
Thank you in advance,
