imho a cam swap on a '14up tourer is a waste without headwork. Stage 1s are getting around 110/85. Ya may get around 110/95 with a cam. Stock heads are done at 100 hp and ya need compression for bigger cams and/or torque. Then the stock throttle body is done at 115 hp. Depends what ya want... Talk to a few good builders.

Currently mine has been dyno'ed at 97tq and 79hp. This is with factory headpipe and a less than ideal tune, in my uneducated opinion.
