If I did it again I’d probably go with the TTS100 cam but I get the US warranty concerns. That said, my stage 2 is also all SE and its delivered great driveability to my bike. Enjoy the hell out of it!

Your Stage 2 is a bit of a rare thing here Daniel you've tuned it with a capable tune and tuner, it is not an EPA tune and your cam choice has boomed because of that.It really was a good call to go that way.
Peace.

dcfatboy- Here is final cost. $998 plus a $50 Gift Card (special runs through mid March). Labor cost was $500 (5 hours). Original quote was $1048 but I saved some not needing anything for the oil pump as my bike is a 2019 (edit as I accidentally typed 2018). Good to know they were going to upgrade this if needed.

I rode the bike about 50 miles today and I a definitely happy with the upgrade. The torque increase is 100% noticeable. I’m hoping to ride 2-300 miles Monday also. I have a video but can’t quite figure out how to load it. If you are around Bristow by any chance, feel free to shoot me a PM and you can listen.

Peace to you also Goobs.....

I got my quote back from my local Indy over here in Annapolis MD today. Now I did tell him I would provide my own tune (I got from FM) via my PowerVision, so he does no tuning. FM has a tune for the 468 with a 2 into 1 and a Stealth intake. My Stage 1 tune I got from FM was spot on, so I am sure this Stage 2 tune from them will be good and I'll also run a couple of auto tune sessions to fine tune it. I am also providing the 2 into 1 Bassani but he'll put it on since he has to remove my stock header anyway. I already have the S&S Stealth AC already installed. I figured I would do the oil pump and cam plate while they are in there and have them install the AIM slave to make the clutch pull much easier. I have never had a sumping issue, but why not go ahead and do the pump and cam plate with new bearings and gasket etc. I'll have a take off HD clutch slave that has had the recall if someone wants to buy it!

2017 FLHRXS
RED SHIFT 468 CAM INSTALL : INCLUDES THE RED SHIFT 468 CAM, S&S CAM PLATE UPGRADE, S&S OIL PUMP UPGRADE, S&S QUICKEE INSTALL PUSHRODS, AIM LIGHT FORCE 2, FLUIDS, BEARINGS, GASKETS, AND INSTALLATION : $2257.85

I priced out the parts separately:
Cam Kit-Zippers 1 x #517-318 Red Shift® 468 Cam Zip Kit for Milwaukee-Eight® - Includes Cam, Gaskets, Cam Bearing, Lifters and Quickee Pushrod Kit w/Chrome Covers +$609.00

S&S Oil Pump and Cam plate for M8 Oil Cooled 727.95

AIM Light Force clutch slave 280.00

So that is ~1600 in parts and 657 bucks in labor, which is very fair for all that IMO! Calling tomorrow to set mine up.
I already had purchased the Bassani Road Rage III Stainless for the bike and that was 1200. So if you include the exhaust, 3450.00 for the whole enchilada!
