Common questions
Will this cam kit fit my Dyna with aftermarket heads or a big bore kit?
This cam is rated for 96–106 CID engines with 9:1–10:1 compression. If you have aftermarket heads or a big bore kit, you must verify your displacement and compression ratio to ensure compatibility. Higher compression or larger displacement engines may require a different cam.
Do I need to replace my valve springs with this cam kit?
No, a key benefit of the S&S Cycle 551 Easy Start Cam Kit is its design to work effectively with your stock valve springs, simplifying the installation and reducing additional costs.
Will I need a dyno tune after installing these cams?
Yes, anytime you perform a cam swap, a proper dyno tune is highly recommended. This will optimize your engine's fuel mapping and ignition timing to maximize the performance gains from the new cams and ensure reliable operation.

Not all the parts fit
One of the packages has the wrong size wrist pin. This delayed my rebuild by about a week.
POWER!!
Just these pistons added to my 110 took me from 108hp to 120hp with some tuning! Great parts! Even after an engine failure, these pistons survived with no issues. Very happy with them.
Superb power! Luv it!
