cam install cost
I ride a 2012 RK with sert stage one, SE air cleaner and SE slip ons.
It has been dynoed at 81 hp and 90 tq. It is a very nice ride.
What i want is a 255 cam up grade. My dealer told me 1500.00 for cam install and dyno
Is this a fair price for just a cam and dyno ?

my builder charged me 4-1/2 hours (@ $85 per) just to do my dyno. That's $385. I think 255 cams can be bought for about $300 or a bit less. With gaskets you'll have roughly $700 in dyno labor and misc parts, leaving $800 for his labor. I think most dealers are getting $80-90 per hour for their labor.
(edit:) was just thinking, adding a tuner (i.e. Power Commander, TTS, Cobra ect will add another 4-500 bucks)

Around my neck of the woods that is about avg. for everything with dyno, having a Harley Davidson Dealership do it. I did check around with some independent shops and they was around the 1,000 buck range.

Crazy. Prices are all over the place. Is it worth it to pick up about twelve pounds of tq ?
Is the different huge from 90 to say 105 in tq ?

did this include a tune on the dyno, or maybe just a re-flash with a canned map?

The tuner that I will use for cams (assuming I ever actually do it...) charges $1,500 including a first class dyno tune. I assume that doesn't include the purchase of a tuner module. I already have a SEPST so I didn't ask.
