Default For those running the SE torque cam

Any increase in valve train noise? I expect a little but some cams are annoying. How is this one? Thanks

I just did the torque cam 3 weeks ago. I only hear a little extra noise when the throttle is cracked wide open, and that could be my imagination.

Bike has a touch more of a loping idle, but my idle is higher now (1000 RPM) then before the swap and Dyno tune.

Mine sounds the same. No extra noise and a better lope at idle

What tuner do you have? You should be able to lower your idle. 1k idle sounds like it would kill the good lope

As far as I know, the SE Tuner update puts the idle at 950, up from 850 stock. The cam does give it a nice lope at idle, even at 950.

That's correct about the street tuner and 950 idle. I dropped mine back to 900 and I like it better.

I have the Screaming Eagle tuner. I had the dealer install it and dyno tune it. Occasionally the RPM drops to 900 and it really lopes there,

I would really consider the power cam as well, not that I dislike the torque cam, but I just keep thinking the power cam might of been a better choice. Here's a comparison someone else posted on another thread here.
