cams for 103 motors on a Trike

[SeanSean1]

Andrews 48H cams seam to pull good from 2000 rpm to 5000 rpm in a 2013 Tri Glide. They don't come on as fast as a Woods cam might, but they do pull very strong, without increased valve train noise.

Note that in 2014 the compression on the 103 in the Tri Glides went to 10:1, which is a little higher than the recommended compression ratio for these cams.

when u say 'pull good' does this mean 'uphill' or 'acceleration' or when towing by chance?

cams for 103

Well, just a recap when I ask about a cam for a 103. My 2010 Triglide now and has a S&S 557 cam plus true duals and larger air fltr. and tuner. The 2010 did come with compression release. Does great thru the gears but drops down after 70mph. More so when riding 2 up. More noticable I should say (2). Need to get it retuned (dynoed) because it is missing alittle this year. Gotta find a good tuner in my area since mine retired here in SE Michigan.

The S&S 551 cams make the best pulling power from 0 MPH to 4,000 RPM and level out . Just my 2 cents. Booggerbe

2¢ is better than no cents.

Uphill and acceleration. I almost always ride this 2 up and loaded down, but haven't pulled a trailer with it yet.

I've been getting only about 25 mpg between 75 and 85 mph. Now I'm thinking about going to the S&S 557 to see if I can get better mileage.

The dealer recommended the SE 254 cams. I installed the se 254, TTS tuner, Arlen Ness A/C. Was happy for a couple of years with this set up until my engine blew up last weekend. Don't think any of these items caused the failure. Now going to the 120ST which has 259E cams, we will see.

Is anyone running Woods 777 cams in their trike?
