Does anyone know which cam is best used for a 99 EVO? Pretty much stock except exhaust and breather. I see EV3, EV5, EV27 and numerous others. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry I should have put on the original post that I ride both 1&2 up. the bike is a 99 fatboy. I hate the trottle response I have now. When I ride one up I ride kind of hard. 2 up not so hard. I would like better hole shots and better top end, but want to keep as much gas milage as I can. I know I'm dreamin on that one.
I have added screamin' eagle ignition module, arlen ness big sucker air cleaner, and 2 into 1 pipes off of a texas chopper.
I also ride about 10,000 miles per year so I don't want to loose dependablility.

| I have no idea myself, but those that MAY have an idea will probably want more info.....how do you ride...one up or 2? you looking for top end or low end torque? are you heavy on the throttle? are you looking for improving long range riding? gas milage? hang all that go as fast as possible when you hit the throttle....... this will all play into what you will be wanting..... also, the 99 evo is the engine...what BIKE is it pushing? My guess is that many people will want to know some of this info before they can give you much info! Good luck!

I've ridden many DYNA's,FXR'S,ect.. lighter H-D's w/ANDREWS "EV-27" cam & must say this cam has an excellent power band for a "bolt-in" .495" lift camshaft.The "ANDREWS" web site has a pretty good description for the cams they sell.The duration of the cam-shaft(how long the valves stay open) will dictate where your power band will be.Hope you find the cam your looking for,00 wildglide  | |

| It would be hard to beat a woods cam for torque, but they are some of the noisiest cams out there, and pricey too.

| KB we're running a wood 9 in a 113 it's a quiet as as stock motor as far as valve train noise, I know some are noisy but it may be the springs used and setup on the bike.
I was amazed as well but the 113 Elbruto is responding very well and has little valve train noise at all, dang bike is so quiet he snuck up on me like a gold wing the other day

I've been using an EV27 and seems to be fine, definitely better than stock. I don't know much about the other cams.
It's funny how there are 1999 EVOs. I thought the last year for EVO was 1998. I also know a guy who has a 1998 Twin Cam. Did they make both engines in 1998 and 1999???
That's a clean looking Fatboy in your picture gallery.

Cam? Best all around EVO cam I used was the EV27 or EV23 if you want a little quieter valve train.

| Both EV27 & woods 6 cams will get you what you are after. The other thing that would help a whole bunch is to change your final drive ratio to 3.37. That will bump up your cruising RPM's about 250 & give you a better feel out of the hole & up through the rpm range. I suspect that 2in1 has little or no restriction or baffle & may be hurting your bottom end. Many of those pipes cam off bigger 100CC+ engines & do not play well with a stock EVO 80".
More cams to look into would be a V-Thunder EV-3020, nice quiet cam good bottom & mid range Tq or a Head Quarters HQ24. Call Doug at head-quarters.com & talk to him about your plan(s), great guy that won't try to sell you a tuna boat in the desert  .
Regards,
Cracker | |
