A lot of talk and discussions on cams and which one is correct for the power you are trying to achieve. After much research and reading here on this blog I have come to this conclusion; If you want more power at certain times......down shift. The results are the same.

When selecting CAMs, it is important to be realistic/honest about your riding style and requirements. For my case, I have a big heavy bike that is mostly ridden 2up. So, with 1,500 pounds I was looking for more low end grunt. I rarely run above 4,000 RPMs. So, the SE 255 Cams seemed like a good choice, and I have be every pleased with the torque they give me where I needed it. But, the one downside is extra heat...but the FCS fans seemed to have addressed that.

New 1300 miles RGU with fuel moto stage 1 type air cleaner and screaming eagle pipes. Power Vision tuner. Im liking the change with these add ons and the bike pulls well, but I had a 103 with 255 cams on an 09 Road king and Im thinking about adding these to this bike - but is it worth the $.
I want/have to stay with harley cams because I have an extended warranty and will have them do it before 60 days from purchase is up - so they will be covered too.
Looking at the screaming eagle cams Im wondering about the 259 too. It looks like it comes on a little later than the 255 and stays on for higher RPM's
Im a big guy 290 lbs and I liked the torque from the 255's

don't know anything about the 259 but do know the 254e is an excellent choice as well for low end that pulls further to the right..
