    It has a better higher flow oil pump, a new tensioner design.

    Screamin' Eagle® Hydraulic Cam Chain Tensioner Plate Upgrade Kit

    This kit updates the cam chain tensioner of your early-model Twin Cam 88® engine to the latest design, as featured on the Twin Cam 96 engine. The billet cam support plate has been designed to allow the installation of the late-model Twin Cam 96 hydraulic cam chain tensionser to early Twin Cam 88®-equipped models. These hydraulic cam chain tensioners will significantly outlast® the spring loaded tensioners, and are an ideal addition to an engine modified for improved performance. In addition, '02-'06 models feature the late-model single row front cam chain and sprockets ('99 - '01 models use the existing front silent chain). utilize a Twin Cam 96 single row front roller chain and sprocket (included in kit). '99-'01 models use Original Equipment front silent chain and sprocket to retain the cam position sensor function. The kit includes the improved late-model Twin Cam 96 oil pump that increases flow by 8% and scavenging by 22% to enhance other performance upgrades

    The difference I see is the high flow oil pump and capabilities.. The machine /casting on the pieces appears different and of course the flashy gold anodizing..

    First kit:
    The kit includes the improved late-model Twin Cam 96 oil pump that increases flow by 8% and scavenging by 22% to enhance other performance upgrades.


    New upgraded kit:
    This kit increases the oil supply by 23% and scavenging by 50% when compared to the '99-'05 Original Equipment oil pump, and reduces operating temperature of bearings to improve bearing life

    I don't have a lot of money to spend on upgrades but this one sounds like a worthwhile and necessary upgrade...It will probably be the first thing I have done...

    Just check them and wait until their worn out...with only 11,000 miles you should be good for a while yet...pick up a Factory Service Manual and Parts Catalog...first thing you have to buy and the best tool in the box...it'll save you a bunch o' money in the long run...:)

    That's good advice as they should be fine for a lot more miles but check em for sure around at around 25K.
