    Could anybody out there let us know which is the best overall cam for a 2009 FXDC fitted with a SE heavy breather+ VH big radius 2into1 exhaust + power commender V the bike is running fine at the monent it only has 600 kms on the clock.

    I am after a good midrange cam  with good throttle responce without loosing anything off the top  also which set of push rods should i use with the cam swap,  what sort of gains should i expect with these mods.

    Shed, the EV3 is a good cam, but i thought it was an EVO cam think 09 dyna is a EFI twin Cam mate.

    Spinner i think when you do the first upgrades like you have, you get a good gain from small outlay, just a cam change on it's own will not make a big difference but will cost a lot more.

    better to just ride it as it is, then when your ready do a compleat performance upgrade like more comp to match cam you choose and larger throtle body valve job. and you will notice it more.

    the andrews 37 is a good cam for what you seem to want, but it needs more compression than stock, if you bolt it into stock motor it will go slower than stock. i have seen this happen.

    cheers

    Good advice Darkash, enjoy the thing  now  ,plenty of time to throw money at it and chase the elusive and hardly ever used power in months /years to come. And i know this because? Now i settle for a nice sound and look which costs a shit load anyway. but lets it breathe and rev at least. 09 Fatbob pulls like a tractor what more do you need or want than 96CI of pure grunt and where does it stop

    Hello Spinner

    I have a 09 Dyna Super Glide Custom that is fitted with Screaming Eagle high flow air cleaner, Khrome Werks 3 inch
    HP plus slip ons, Screaming Eagle 211 cams and Screaming Eagle Pro Super Tuner. I had the cams fitted at about the
    6000 km mark because I was looking for a bit more get up and go, especially on the open road because I ride the 430
    kms up and down between Perth and Geraldton. I am very happy with the noted performance difference with the bike
    accelerating much faster at all speeds, but I have noticed that the bike doesn't really like the slow speed stuff at low revs
    in heavy traffic, but this is only minor. I only did the cams at that time as that what funds allowed but I wish to do a 103
    big bore at some time in the future - Dyno tuned now at 79.98 horse power and 92.04 torque - yes I like it and am happy!!
    Power seems to be strong and even all the way through the revs right upto 6200 rpm

    Hope this helps
