Looking for the best of BOTH worlds
So I've had my 15 Wideglide a little over 16 months and had some questions to see what suggestions realistically come up.
103 Stage 4 Pro, with 259E cams ( not really happy with these), SE Performance clutch Pak plus HD spring, SE adjustables, S&S premium lifters without the travel limiters, SE oil pump and Cam plate, SE roller rockers, Bassani B1. TTS Master Tune.
Wondering what would be a better Cam selection, as I DON'T drag race the bike, ride 2-up alot, and play aggressively once in a while. I'd like a little more on the bottom end so street drivability is better, as well as trying to get back some MPG (28mpg right now sucks ***!!)
Also, I KNOW 2-1 systems make better power, but I still prefer the sound of a twin'd pipe bike over a single muff.
So I am thinking some T-man cams and possibly Reinhart 2-2 flush or V&H Long Shots ( need to be clear of my Iron Bags bags).

Compression is 10.5:1 to the best of my knowledge. Doc @ Doc's Performance tuned the bike. The problem.o have with the B12 is it contacts my bag on the center bottom, don't want to destroy the Bag. So looking at other pipe options. Even the D&D Fat Cat was looked, but clearance is a concern.
I am not totally sure the bike is tuned 100%, but I do know I have the worst fuel mileage I could imagine at this point.
I have been contemplating T-man 590 or 625's. Main goal is to get a little bit more to the left side of the chart, to get some Streetability and MPG back.

I had the 259s in the '09 for awhile (SE Stage III Kit on the 110) and liked them after much Dyno Tuning to remove a flat spot at 25-2700 RPM (V&H PowerDuals) as others have stated "the Tune has to be right"...
'Would probably still be running to this day except for a lifter taking out the motor..
As much as I love the T-Man 625s in my '09 (at 10.4-1) you might take a look at T-Man's new 585s... 'have seen some nice curves / good #s / and good reports on them at 10.5-1 or less... Both of these Cams come in earlier than the 259s but still carry on out to the right...
As you know exhaust plays a major role,, but your situation is what it is... would consider the longshots...
Can you post the dyno sheet??

You said it yourself... What does the "professional" have to say??

I'll have to do it when I get home from work.
I agree regarding the exhaust, I just don't want to destroy a $750 bag. Regarding the cams, I have been looking at the 585 and 590. TR at T-Man has said they should be a perfect fit for the bike with the St 4 Kit heads.
I am waiting to speak with him, as he messaged me today, but must have been pretty busy at the shop.

The only other pipes I have been thinking about are the D&D Fat Cat (clearance concerned though), he V&H Long Shots and the Rinehart 2-2 flush (as they sit tight to the bike and a little lower). Wish D&D didn't have that kick up to it. I have also looked at RB, Sawicki, and a few others, but the last thing o want to have to do is have pipes custom made and cost me 2k+
