your compresion is going to be about the same as it is now,never heard a the stroke being .005 shorter in a cop bike,wouldnt make any real difference any way,90/100 is very doubtful

About 9.6/1.
Much better cams out there for your Dyna application.
That 255 emission 110" cam "hits", then falls flat on it's a$$.

dyna,
You are not listening. You have posted twice on this subject and several knowledgeable forum members have told you two things:

1. you need compression releases with that combination
2. the cam sucks; better choices out there

Take the advice and come up with a different combination.
