The APE CR-485 represents a serious performance upgrade for factory 114/117 Harley Davidson Milwaukee-8 engines, engineered for riders demanding maximum effort and sustained power delivery. This bolt-in cam features a .485 lift—the maximum safe specification for stock valve springs—creating a broad, aggressive power band that builds from the mid-range and carries strong through 6000+ RPM. You'll experience respectable low-end torque with the real muscle hitting between 2500-6500 RPM, making it ideal for both street and performance applications. Compatibility is straightforward: the CR-485 works seamlessly with stock compression ratios up to 11.25:1, eliminating the need for expensive engine rebuilds. For optimal results, pair it with a larger throttle body, upgraded injectors, and a performance 2-1 exhaust system to fully unlock the cam's potential. This cam excels in stock cylinder head big bore kits and proves particularly transformative in Gen 2 engines, where it delivers monster-level performance gains that justify the investment.
