Just remember that tuning after your upgrades is super important. A bad tune can negate all that power you’re trying to gain!
I’m still figuring out the best tuner settings for my S&S 570. Any suggestions would be helpful! Most tuning guides seem vague.
Try using a dyno for the best results. They can provide specific tuning recommendations based on your setup.
I can’t help but wonder, given all the upgrades, is there a risk of engine stress or reliability concerns with this cam?

Great point! While the S&S 570 cam has great performance, it is essential to monitor temps and performance to ensure longevity. Regular maintenance is key!
I’ve been running the S&S 570 cam in my 103 for about six months now. The power delivery is smooth, and I feel the torque increase at lower RPMs. Definitely worth considering if you want a solid upgrade!

That’s great to hear! How does it compare to the stock cam in terms of reliability? I’ve been hesitant to swap mine out.
I’ve tried a few different cams, but the 570’s torque curve is something special. The wide-eyed look from my buddies when I opened it up was priceless!
Haha, that’s hilarious! What kind of setup do you have with the cam? Any other performance parts?
I’m running the S&S 570 with a high-flow air cleaner and upgraded exhaust. The combination really maximizes the torque and power at mid-range. Couldn’t be happier!
Sounds awesome! But how is the idle? I’ve heard mixed reviews about it being too lopey for some riders.
Idle’s not too bad! It’s definitely a bit lopey, but it gives it that classic sound. For me, it just adds character. Plus, the performance outweighs any minor idle quirks.
True! Some people forget that the personality of the bike is part of the ride. I’ve been eyeing the 570 for my next upgrade.
I had the 570 cam, but I switched back to the stock cam. Just didn’t find the power difference significant enough for my style of riding. It’s all about what you need!

That’s an interesting take. What didn’t you like about the 570? I’d love to hear more!
Honestly, it felt great in town but less so on the highway. Also, I found some reliability concerns with the higher lift over time. Just my experience!
That’s fair, I appreciate the insight! It’s tough to balance performance and longevity.
