twin cam 88 cams

Thanks again, more good info and thanks for the link to gmr. but I'm a little confused, what is the reason people are telling me to go with gear drive cams and is the andrews n conversion kit that much better than the original chain drive ?

Okay, Igot it, just a little dense sometimes, like the idea of the andrews n conversion, sounds like the way to go but not finding a 48 n, bingham are u sure thats the one ?

Just a suggestion, but you might want to verify that the Andrews kit comes with the high volume oil pump. I just did the conversion using the SE kit w/ the high volume pump, and I can tell a huge difference in operating temperature.

Yes the Andrews 48 is available in the N conversion cam configuration.

Note that it is listed requiring high lift springs but that doesn't apply to 05 & 06 models. They come with beehive springs which will handle up to .575" lift cams. The high lift springs are only required for 99-04 Twin Cam heads that can only accommodate up to .510" lift cams with stock springs.

Yes the conversion kit does come with the high volume oil pump.

I just wanted to say : I agree with R.Bingham.. He has Always given great suggestions.. I like the gear drives that i put into my 2ooo FXDS but that was before the New conversions were here.. I had to spring for a feuling oil pump and a Delkron cam plate and have the heads and Manley valves with their spring set up to use SS 570G cams,,, Pius a bunch of Other electrical stuff...

Today I would go with the New Hydraulic kits so you get ALL the needed parts to Up-Grade to todays TC engines.. EXAMPLE for price only,,, The HD KIT is 429$ .....

I paid More just for the better High volume oil pump and feuling lifters....

YES is the answer IF THEY LAST LONGER,,,(hydraulic tensioner) the Newer style Hydraulic tensioners LAST a long time.. NO chipping of ceramic to harm the oil pump or engine..

I had My 09 apart to do SE 255 cams and didn't bother putting any new ones in,,, as they had 14,000 miles on them and Still LOOKED New..
