S&S, M8 chain driven 540C camshaft kit

Torque cam designed to offer generous pulling power up that hill, or quickly passing a big rig in traffic for big bore motors. Real life touring power below 6000RPM but still good for respectable HP numbers. Kit includes cam, all required bearings, o-rings and hardware. Gear drive cams provide improved valve timing accuracy but more mechanical sound, when compared to chain driven cams. The additional mechanical sound is the reason why OEM runs chain driven cams. Note: This is a small base circle cam. Requires adjustable pushrods and heavy duty valve springs. S&S Recommends 558660 Quickee pushrod & cover kit and 565784 S&S .605" heavy duty valve Spring kit. Note: For best performance it is, like with all performance cams, recommended to use a free breathing air cleaner and exhaust system. Note: With each cam change S&S recommends their 583903 Precision tappet assembly set. Note: See paper or online Motorcycle Storehouse catalog for the S&S camshaft specification chart.
