Default 255 cams
Is it worth just putting in the cams in my 08 fat bob?

Got the v&h radius and the sett and the heavy breather kit on the bike. Bike has about 4000 kms on it. I think that might be 2000 miles?

What ever is the best to go with. Was told the 255 are good for a bit more low end torque. What's better? Don't want to change pipes yet.

i think the woods 555's are the nest bolt in cam out there . i ran them without head work and they were awsome. i rebuilt my motor and decided to keep them cuz they were even better with head work. check out fuel moto or hillside they swear by woods cams
