Default Help with Cam identification

Hello all,
I recently purchased an 01 Ultra classic that wasn’t running at the time. I am in the middle of the tear down going through the motor to see what has been done. The camshafts say T55G and a serial number 49681. Is anyone familiar with that designation? If it’s any help someone installed a SE 110” kit and SS cam gear drive. Thanks for any help.

i'd agree with Tex but if you could put up a picture it would be easier to confirm.

While you are in there, check the run out on the pinion shaft. Gear drive setups aren't very forgiving of excessive run out.

Jerry Branch had a "T55" cam that he used with his 95" kits, not the same as the TW55 by Andrews. It may have the whole Flowmetric kit; intake port matched to their #4 heads(80cc,1.940int valve) propriety CC matched 10.5:1 forged pistons(+8.5cc(JE or CP depending on year)). You should be cranking right at 200CCP

That setup must have went pretty good.. Also thinking that "IF" that's the case then it's not an SE110 kit..
OP, because this is new to you did you measure the stroke and bore?
Good info there @rigidthumper .. Thanks..

98hotrod I am happy to answer and provide pics to any questions you all may have. I am currently just trying to identify all the components as I do the tear down. I have not taken the stroke measurements at this point, but I will try to do so here shortly. I can say this bike still has the Magnetti Marelli FI system equipped.

Also,
I only mentioned the SE 110” kit because the cylinders literally have a riveted tag saying Screaming Eagle 110.

Lastly,
The gearbox has a screaming eagle 6 speed tag / plate.

Let me know if I need to provide more part numbers etc for identification help on this project. Thank you all.
