Default 255 cams /ultra limited

I have a 2013 ultra limited with 255 cams and a stage 1...
The bike has been tuned and dynoed.Runs very well..
Dynoed at 101 tq and 85 hp...The previous owner had this done..
What would be a better choice of cams for more tq in the low to mid range..
2500-4500 rpm's.. Should i just leave it alone and ride it..
Again the bike pulls really well..

Peace and Prayers

That's exactly where the SE 255 shines, it makes all its torque in the lower rpms, 2000-4000 rpms. You will find some cams about the same not many make more low end torque. I am assuming you are running a 103?

You could look into the woods tw-222. You can look on fuel moto's website for dyno charts. With their 2-1-2 head pipe and slip-ons, on a 103 it makes 112 tq, 95 hp in the 2000-4500 rpm range with 100 tq at 2000 rpms. Better numbers that the SE 255 for sure. But it would all depend on your exhaust setup.

FWIW ... You'll spend a lot of money for minimal improvement

There isn't a more "school bus" cam than 255 out there...

Stick with what you have. You won't make any more perceivable gains without spending an *** load of money.

But to answer your question, for a 103" stock motor, the Andrews 57H is in my opinion the best in terms of performance and cost. The Woods cams are way too expensive...and Andrews grinds all of the cams for Woods, so why not go with Andrews in the first place?

My 09 FLHPI has the same setup, no dyno tuning, running FuelMotos canned map shows 86.66hp and 100.76ft/lb. ALL down low pull, I'm not changing a thing.

Install a Baker 31 tooth pulley and a wards parts works low temp oil cooler thermostat. If you want to spend more $$$ for a new cam and a tune,Cyclerama 570.
