Anyone running these? Going to SE204's and it was suggested I use the SE259's. Going into a 2010 FXDF with SE intake & exhaust, otherwise a stock 96. Suggestions?

 

With the 259E's, you will need a bump in compression to make this cam work the best and you will need high lift springs in your heads, unless the newer twin cam stock heads can support a .579 lift.
You won't need any of this with the 204's. The 204 is a good bolt in cam. You will be happy with the TQ & HP gains. If you have the time take a look at the HQ-TC-500 cam from Head quarters too.

 

This what we like to run>>>>>> on stock 96 inch motor.

FUELING 525 BOLT IN CAM
TMAN 555 BOLT IN CAM
FUELING 574 BOLT IN CAM

 

I took out my SE 251's which are virtually identical to the SE 259e's and installed DME 575's and after tuning I am happier with the DME cams over the SE cams.

 

I have 204's and love them, the 259e needs more compression to work right

 

Thanks for all the feedback guys! This board is great!! Thanks.

 

Agree with other posters, "Do NOT do the SE259E" without increasing the compression. It is a waste of money unless you want your torque and horsepower above 3500 RPM.

 

Was going to do the 259 till I looked at the valve timing.
This is a epa cam.
If I had to chose between the 204 and the 259 I would take the 204. Hearing good things on the 204 but the 259 people were expecting more. This may be due to compression but like I said I dont like the timing for some reason on paper it reminds me of the 255. If you were to draw this cam on paper with the specs on a graph.

 

Yep. Read the same. With the stock CR the 204's seem a good fit. I am ordering tomorrow. Have a new set of SE lifters and rear bearings. Considering getiing the rolller rocker, as well. Don't expect any performance increase, just thinking the whole system will "roll" smoother!?

 

In a Dyna 96" w/Stage one, would you do the F-525 or F-574? I want an all-around cam, I'm rev-happy but want to get up and go quickly, too. I think I'm in the 2-4RPM range often, but I've been known to hit the limiter from time to time and I know the stock cames give up past 4,500/5,000RPM right quick on my bike. In my Stage 1 when I had the quiet baffles in my bub jug huggers, I could spin the tire off the line with the right clutch movement... the BUB 2:1 I had was garbage... took away torque... but sounded like sex. The good kind...
