Performance and Technical information on Stage 2 engines for Harley-Davidson motorcycles.

Basic Stage Two Engine Design

The Stage Two Basic engine represents a more extensive approach to improve engine performance with bolt-on components and a bolt-in camshaft. Most people can perform these modifications themselves. Modifications over stock engine are underlined in the list below. The estimated cost for these modifications ranges from $700 to $1000. The performance return for these changes can be large for the dollars spent. Increases up to 30 HP and 20 Ft.Lbs of torque can be seen on some bikes.
The major changes for a Stage Two Basic engine over the Stage One Advanced is the addition of an Andrews EV-46 camshaft. The original cam bearing was removed and replaced with a Torrington. The stock Harley-Davidson  push rods were used.
Prior testing with the Screamin Eagle 6000 RPM street  ignition module had already produced excellent. No reason was seen to change from the SE ingition module. A maximum of 73.9 HP occured at 5950 RPMs, with maximum torque of 78.1 ft. lbs. at 4100 RPMs.
The HP and torque curves for this engine combination was very smooth, with a broad torque curve over 70 ft. lbs. starting at 2500 RPMs and extending to 5400 RPMs.
