I also want a decent lope out of the cam. The 255's sounded stock, barely noticeable. Would you say the 222 have a decent lope to them? I heard the 204's do a good job at that as well...

I did a lot of research before getting cams, TW-555 seems to fit my riding style hands down.

Don't over-cam your bike....results will be negative. If you're going to keep stock heads & compression, the 222 is a great cam and a LOT more performance on the street than the SE-255. Bigger isn't always better when talking cams unless you have other mods such as higher compression & heads to support the cams.
Don't get caught up on peak numbers either....it's all about where & how the cam makes it's power & torque. Look at the rpm ranges for gains & look at the curves. The Wood TW-222 is 2,000-6,000 & is a great all around cam, which is why I chose it.

The SE255 cams are a great touring cam, They work very good on the heavier bikes for touring. Touring bikes usually stay well below 4,000 rpm"s. I have had em in a few touring bikes, but I have never seen drop power at 4,000. It's closer to 4,500 rpm's. This is by dyno and feel. When they start to fade they drop fast. But still there are way better cams for a light weight bike like the Dayna bikes.
It doesn't cost that much to have the heads cleaned up some and up the compression a little to get some decent power.
But that's me

I agree I think my power is 2500-5200 rpm, but no stock 103 can touch it. Good Power, Good Sound, Good Fun. My mechanic did say I should be safe with a compression bump,(which i have not done) but too much over 100tq/100hp i would be living a little more dangerously with the lower end.

Totally different cam than the SE-255. They come on about 2,000 & run out real nice making good power & torque all the way through the rpm range.

Here's a link of my bike with the TW-222 cams & fat cat idling for your listening pleasure....this should give you an idea of what I'm describing.

TW-222 pair with 2into1 sound awesome!
My tw-555 has similar grind but my short shot makes a different idle sound, to each their own.

Here's my 07 SB with Andrews 37H and cycle shack slip ons
Regardless of which cam you choose , you should see at least 10hp and 10tq increase with a cam change and a tune.
