Default Cam help

I've got a 07 Nighttrain with a dealer installed 103 kit and no new cams. I'm looking at SE 204 cam or 255 cam for my bike. I'm not touching the heads, which cam do you think would be better? Thanks for the help.

what ever cam you decide to go with i would not go with more than a 510 lift unless you want to change out springs and push rods

Depends how you ride. The 255 is a good cam for short shifters and gives good bottom and middle. A 204 is middle and (some) top and is best of the 2 if you let it rev.

Wait for the new SE 254E, specifically designed for builds like yours.
