Default 2014 Cam Upgrades

Has anyone changed cams on the 2014s? If so what was your results. I'm just wondering if there is any improvement over the current set up.

Just an FYI: the cams in the '14 103 are upgraded from previous years and apparently close to the SE 255 cams. Those 255 cams are listed on the HD website as upgrades for model years previous to 2014; the only cams listed for the '14 models are the SE 259s.

Here you go,
I have a set of the 2014 Hi Output cams with 900 miles and matching lifters for sale if you want them. But if it were me I'd do what I did. Andrews 57 cams. Jackpot 2-1-2 tuned with a Power Vision and Billet SE Air Cleaner.

A good all around cam for 103 Harley's is the Screamin Eagle 204, it 's just a good all around cam.
The 204 cam has more duration then the 255 with less lift, most people who have them like them a lot.

Installed 204's around 600 miles, now have 6800 and couldn't be happier with the results, ended with 94hp and 114tq. Felt like a different bike afterwards.

There are a few cams that have improvement over stock...

What are you looking for that the OE set up doesn't deliver?

What's your riding style like?

Is your '14 currently stock?

IMO, once the decision is made in changing cams, exhaust plays a key role in performing at its fullest, but hands down you need to have a competent tuner on hand dialing the bike in, so many stories out there of riders getting caught up in the hoop la of the cam of the month, they drink the kool aid, spend the money in having it done & have a lack luster tune done & they have their bubble bursted why their bike doesn't have the dyno graph as promised.... So all that said, pick your grind to suit your style, & find the best tuner to do the job & ride on! Depending on where you are in the country you can find a list of reputable tuners on the HTT forum

His signature tells you. 14 SGS V&H Power Duals, SE Heavy Breather

Have had dealings with a RK with 259E CNC heads/2 in 1 thunderheader, SEPST, a Limited with legal stage 4 with 259E, CNC wet heads, 58MM TB, hyperuretic pistons, and SE exhaust factory download no tuner, SGS with Fueling 543, and couple of SGS with 204 Power Visions and D&D Boarzillas. They all performed really well. I am thinking the Can Bus ecm being much faster may help some also. I know the tunes will load in about half the time of the earlier systems and the maps have lot more resolution on the tables. The Road King was top dog, but he was suppose to be. With the exception of the stage 3 stuff they all performed real close with the biggest difference being the 2 in 1 exhaust.
