Upgrade your Harley Davidson with the S&S Cycle 551CE Chain Drive Camshaft Kit, designed for models from 1999 to 2006. This bolt-in camshaft set enhances engine performance by increasing low-end and midrange torque, delivering noticeable power gains from idle up to 4000 rpm. The kit includes cams, gearcover gasket, cam bearings, and detailed instructions, making installation straightforward for experienced enthusiasts. The 551 cams are optimized for engines with 96 to 106 cubic inches and compression ratios between 9:1 and 9:9, suitable for stock or mildly modified touring bikes. These cams are engineered to work best with high-flow intake and exhaust systems, unlocking additional airflow to maximize performance. Most models from 2005-2006 can utilize stock valve springs, while earlier models require special high-lift springs to handle the increased lift. Due to their high lift profiles, S&S adjustable pushrods are recommended to ensure proper valve operation and longevity. The cams feature Quick Start® technology, allowing easier engine startups with the stock starter, and are specifically designed for chain drive applications. It’s important to note that these cams are not recommended for compression ratios of 10:1 or higher, as excessive compression can negatively impact performance. Appropriate for a range of Harley Davidson models including Fat Boy, Night Train, Softail Deuce, and Electra Glide, the S&S 551CE cams are a reliable upgrade for riders seeking improved torque and power across the midrange, with a focus on durability and ease of installation.
