DoomBuggy is on a distinguished road
I understand why one would want to change cams, the stock EPA cam has no overlap and no chance for cooling. But I know nothing about Harley cams for the twin cam engines. I have two questions. The 96" engine is all I will ever need for cubes, so for a person that will leave the displacement stock, but will add better breathing, what is a good cam and why. Second question, I understand that the chain tensioners in these motors are a weak spot. Does anyone make a set of geared cams and if so what are the plus and minuses of a gear drive set.

Many, many thanks for all the combined knowledge here,
Harry

PS, I will no doubt do head work later in life, but not this eyar.
