Should be strong. It was strong with a little tweaking "bone stock"
77 hp 98 tq

Is this going to be just bolt in with stage 1? Very interested in this cam and Kury's new tc-24.

So you done yet? Not rushing you or anything, but you done yet?

Here's a dyno sheet from a customers bike done last week with the 57H on a 2012 FLTRU with Drago's true duals and a TMax. This was just with a canned map put in and the auto adjust had not had a chance to do its thing.

I also put a set of Big Boyz heads on and a .027 HG

not done yet. last pull last night before I lost a sensor was impressive.
bike is tuned,just not tweaked yet. I only got 4 pulls in wot.
it could be all done ,as it has decent timing and fuel as it is.
but it broke 100 hp std. and is 1 1/2 hp away from breaking 100 hp sae.

98/109 sae
101/112 std.
I like it for sure. alan is gonna like it even more.

That sounds impressive for sure. How do you like this cam compared to T-man's torqster555 or the tw555? I know the new Kury cam isn't out yet so can't compare that one. Just curious if there is much difference between these.

waiting to see the sheet on this one myself..kind of at a crossroads right now between the T-Man 555 torqster and the Andrews 57h and any input is appricated. Also Stroker, how was the 57h as far as valvetrain noise? Did you bump compression and did you use stock pushrods? Dont mean to bombard you with questions but at this point I'm on the fence on which cam to order,,personally I'm using a Dragula 2-1 pipe and H-D Ventilator a/c and one of the new TTS tuners and going to do the cam and looking at the 0.30 Cometic headgaskets for mine and then have Doc Weaver re-tune it.

here is the sheet with the 57 cams.
bolt in cams and exhaust ,thats it. stock heads, you can see where they run out at 5300 rpms,
but 100 tq at 2500 = fun and 100 tq at 5250= 100 hp
a lot of bang for the buck on a new ride.
I haven't done the 555 ?
I rode it today and it feels like a totally diff bike.

Stroker, how is it as far as valvetrain noise? I used an Andrews cam once in my evo about 15 years ago and while it pulled decent, it sounded like the top end was coming apart..that broke me of Andrews at the time but with time comes change...lol

I'm not stroker but the set I installed were as quiet as stock. I ran them under Gaterman lifters set at .063" deep on the intake side and .073" deep on the exhaust side. I wont have the final tune done for another couple of months. The customer had to go back to his job in Alaska.

Looks like you did a nice job on the tune, Jim. Customer should be well satisfied!

[Slick03 H-D]

Indy, thanks for the info/reply. Pretty well tells me that I'm gonna try the 57h

this one ....on the right side all you hear is the noise from the throttle body.
on the left you can hear a little tick now and then. basically the same little tick ,that you hear on some of these factory 103's.
gatorman lifters first set to .106 it wasent even close. noisy as heck. totally loose....set them to .130 and it's as described above.
the only way I will use these lifters again is if they are supplied by customer ,as these were.
sorry I wasent impressed. it only took seconds (not minutes) for the lifters to bleed off enough to spin. I didnt even have a chance to roll them up on the lobe to bleed them off before they were spinning. actually by the time i spun the lock nut by hand to get it ready to lock down ,they were bleed off.
sounds good and will work fine with these cams. but personally I wont use them in my motor.

Stroker,What lifters do you prefer? I had the Fuelings in my 95" TW21 build for 22k before i sold it,worked well and quiet w/ S&S pushrods.

I have used feuling and they seemed really nice to me.
but I got a buddy that does way more motor work than me,and he hates them. hell I dont know what to use anymore.
I got wood lifters in my bike. they have there own quirks. but they seem to stay pumped up on the big lift cams,once you get them there. had good luck with black opps.
why the hell whoever made the B lifters dosent see the need for them in the aftermarket ,I will never know.
