Gear drive cams

Thinking of installing geardrive 510 cams, SERT and adjustable pushrods on my 03 dyna. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.

As with all mods your ride you decide.
The first question you need to ask is were you want to be at the end with that bike. All out racer, daily rider or somewere in the middle.
Gear driven cams sound like a great idea at first and they are an easy sell.
However more home work can cloud that idea quickly.
The right chain set up With updated HYD tensioners can be a much better option. They are quieter and a lot more forgiving that gear driven.
In the end the difference in power is so small it almost does not madder.
No madder what direction you go take no short cuts do it right the first time.
Short cuts when doing these types of mods to any engine can be costly.

Check this out instead of gear drives. Much better setup.

I have gear driven cams. Put them in due to OEM tensioner problems. I'm satisfied with the way it works. Got some extra noise, as expected, but no problems.

At the time the hydraulic tensioner kits were not available. If I was doing it now I would go with the hyd tensioners.
