Default Another cam question SE255

I know there may be better, etc. BUT, these are the ones I am looking at for my 2012 FLHTCU. Dealer is giving me a good deal on installation and I trust them to tune it correctly. Already have Jackpot 4", air breather and PCV. Does any one have a dyno sheet with the 255s in a 103. I started to look through all the dyno sheets and went numb after about the first 20 pages.


Thanks

I have a 103 with 255's, stage 1 air and monster ovals
Im sure there are guys with bigger power but I'm happy with this, more then enough power and very usable, I don't want to run it up to 6000RPM for every shift.
Get ready for the 255's suck crowd.

255 will give you a nice increase and will not be that aggressive...good all around power boost...

When I was at 96 after a year of stock cams I went with 255's . I already had a tuner, pipes and breather. I found the 255's pulled really well for my highway riding. I definitely felt the difference and was happy with them. They are not for joy riding around the city.
They worked well on the highways.

I think you should at least look at the SE254e cams they do everything the SE255 cams will ,but better, so says Harley Davidson

My buddy went SE255 in his '12 Road King, don't remember torque figures, but was 92 HP after tune. He has VH headpipe, HO's and AC. The bike pulls like a freight train from anywhere you are to about 4500, which is exactly what he was looking for.

I wouldn't/won't waste my time and/or money putting 255s in a 103 because there are so many so much better choices out there. But if ya can get a proper tune with them you could see a good torque increase (maybe 110 if the stars all line up) and small hp gain (around 85) without a lot of heat problems. Friends don't let friends run 255s in 103s+...

If you want low end torque, put them in. Remember the dyno chart is a wide open pull, not normal riding conditions for most folks.
