Default M8 107 stage 2 torque

Hi guys and girls. Well riding season is over here in Central New York. I have a stage one on my 2020 street Bob. It has Bassani true dual pro street turn outs right to the header, se extreme Ventilator , and pv tune. It’s now in the Harley Davidson shop to get a stage two done with the torque cam, plus New rider pegs, and handlebars, 12 inch apes.
My question is for riders who done the stage two with the torque cam. What have been your pros and cons. I was thinking about going to stage three, but honestly this bike is so good stock or so close to good that I think the stage two will put me right where I wanna be or at least that’s where I’m hoping to be. Mainly in passing tractor trailers a little quicker (Maybe without downshifting) a little bit better throttle response etc. What do you guys think about the set up, and how do you like your stage two set up? Mostly the set up as close as mine maybe using the Harley Davidson torque cam at least.

I haven't done it but I've ridden a few bikes with the torque cam and yes it's a great improvement, the idle is a little more rumbly too.
It gives the bike more left side grunt .

I put the torque ca in my 2017 Street Glide 107. If you ride the lower RPM like I do, it’s a great improvement. Instant grunt from 2000 to 4500 RPM and still pulling. I also did the wideband O2 sensors and Smart tune.

Have the torque cam in my 2020 Low Rider, bike pulls hard. 7,500 mi on the bike and no cons that I'm aware of.

Not sure in a soft tail but in my touring bike I can't think of better money that I have spent on the bike. It's just all around better. Idle sound is better if you're into that. Pulls the same as stock right off idle then comes alive as the revs build and doesn't die off at 4k like the stock cam does. You should be happy.

I have it in my RKS. I really cant add anything that the previous posters haven't already said. For me it was money well spent. I have no need nor desire to go stage 3

Yep the SE inlet manifold is a little stronger not much, where it does help is after a bike has been real hot , like in traffic or a couple of hard hot runs. The bike seems to run better after it's hot , it may cool down the inlet quicker once it's getting air over it I don't know but that's where it seems to work best.
If you been around bikes for a while it's like a hard run of similar HP Shovel V Evo after the first few hard runs the Evo just clears out and bit by bit rides away .

Picked up my bike this afternoon..... stage 2 torque cam is awesome. Feels like it never stops climbing super fun. Street bob was already quick and it’s fun as hell now. Definitely a Worth every penny upgrade. Need some dry weather now so I can go rip
