If you look at the torque curves, the torque cam outperforms the power cam up to about 3750 RPM, that 2500-4000 range is more important to me than the higher RPM range.

The Stage 4 on my 18 is much quieter than the Stage 4 on my twin cam. Very little valve train noise so far.

It's such a mild cam,I'd think there's very little or no difference.

Very minimal if any increase in noise, power much better from start to finish. I am still running complete stock exhaust. Download from dyno jet PV-2 was perfect.

Be interesting to ride the same type of bike with each cam and see how seat of the pants feels different and how much, or put one bike of each cam side by side and see how the perform in a series of test. I know the hp cam turns on later, but in the real world I wonder how much difference you really feel or see in acceleration results.

My thoughts too. I'm very happy with the torque cam on my Ultra, but I'd like to see and feel the difference with the power cam. I know they're probably better cams out there, but for now, I'm staying with SE to keep my warranty

I have torque cam, SE slipons, ventilator air cleaner, and HD tuner. No change in sound.
