Default Stage 2 Torque Cam Installed - Impressed

Just had the Stage 2 Torque cam installed and all I can say is Wow!!! It really woke the bike up and it feels like a different machine. Really happy with the results and for my riding style the power band feels perfect.

Yep, my Stage 1 was a waste of money. But I just did the Stage 2 and I'm all smiles

​​​​​​If you don't mind me asking what was your total cost for the cam install?

Dammit you guys had to go and do this when I had myself convinced I wasn't going to screw with this bike, just ride it as is.

I know..been happy with my dyno tuned SE Stage for year 1..but after having a Street Canon failure and good chance of having another.. I'll go pick out aftermarket ones next time, which I would do a retune, and if I'm paying for dyno time might as well get my money's worth and do Stage II at the same time..we'll see

I had the Stage 1 kit installed at the time I picked up my 17' Ultra. It has the S/E Ventilator air cleaner, Rinehart Slip-ons, and used the S/E tuner. The cam was installed and the Stage 2 tune added. That was it. No dyno tuning. The bike has a whole new personality. Roll on power was significantly improved. Money well spent.
