Idle is good. There is a flat spot around 2K to 2500 rpm but that may work out with the BLM's.
I am thinking that a cam change my be the ticket. I have never been a real fan of the S&S .570 cam only because it has a lot of tendency to allow a lot of scavenging of the cylinder during the overlap..(exhaust valve being open to late in the cycle)
I am looking at the Head Quarters TC-0039G cam .. I still have to take some time to compare centerlines and the overlap (both seem pretty close but then the centerline makes the difference).
I also have a S&S .510 cam lying around but I dont think it wll do justice with my raised compression.. (running close to if not over 9.8 to 1)..
And if I do that I might as well go back to stock valve springs, stock pushrods and drop the compression back down..
what do you think?
You are asking questions I can't answer. Talk to a good engine builder about your cams. Send me your log and map just as it comes out of your bike and let me see what it looks like.
