Pulls and pulls!!!!!!!!!!
09' Fatboy 96ci with AN Intake and Rinehart slipons using V&H Fuelpac3. 20,000 miles.
Installed this cam using S&S solid pushrods and Fueling lifters along with Fueling cam chain tensioner shoes.
Install was not difficult at all. This was my first Harley cam install. After completed install, engine fired right up.
Engine now has a really nice "lope" at idle now, sounds fantastic! Exhaust has a louder sound as well with these cams.
From idle to 4000 rpm (purely a guess I have no tach) the engine pulls HARD and never fell off. Did a test ride of
40 miles and could not stop smiling. Took an on ramp to interstate running 35 mph in second gear, rolled on the
throttle through 4th gear till I hit the 4 lane, looked down and was doing 90 mph! I could never do that with the stock cam.
Cruising along at 70 mph in 6th gear I can roll on the throttle and pass cars with ease. The stock cam made 6th gear
almost unusable for passing. The bike is soo much more fun to ride now. If your undecided on a cam, give serious consideration to the S&S 551.
Also wanted to add. After install and test ride I called Vance and Hines for a new map for the FP3. They have this cam in one of their maps now and after about 5 minutes they had it installed onto my FP3. This map made a nice improvement. Perfect! Life is good with S&S. Their customer support was fantastic when I called looking for the right cam for me. I honestly believe they would stay on the phone for as long as it takes to get you headed in the right direction.
I would recommend this product
