    Has anyone had any experience with cam upgrade/change over on a 88 cui engine, carby model,
    wanna get a bit more out of the engine, performance, sound etc...
    I’ve got a 2001 Softail Deuce and need some feed back.
    Size?, teething issues? Carby mods required? Etc etc
     
    Any advice would be appreciated…
     
    Cheers

    Andrews 26G with S&S gears. A mild cam which will give you a lot more torque. A bit noisy though, but you do get used to it. Also, if you upgrade to 95ci, you can still use the same cam. There are equivalent cams around which are just as good. I like gears because once it's done, that's it. No need to worry about tensioners.

    Do not stick 211's in an 88, it will ride like a dogs dinner (I done this so I do know)
    If you want to go with 211's go 95" HC pistons, 0.030 HG as a minimum to make it run nice. As a premium a descent set of heads will complement this.
    Those 211's thrive on compression
