Idle's on the EFI's will always be around the 900 to 1000 rpm mark. They have to be to keep the oil a pumpin.... if your thinking that changing cams will give it that old EVO sound.... ur gonna be dissapointed.

Very true, my 500's gave it a different sound but not that of an EVO or huge V8.
Even the big 120 build ups I have heard don't have that sound.
Thanks for the replies guys. \\; There's a lot of conflicting info out there and these comments help put some of it to bed. \\; I've heard some 96 inch bikes that sounded pretty good, but generally haven't been able to get much on the mods besides the obvious. \\; \\;All of my engine experience is with V8s and Vtwins are new to me.
If you are going to get a SE cam that is probably the best one! It is probably the best cam HD makes. I have a friend who has it in his Road Glide 103 and really likes it.
Aren't the 255's suppose to be used with the 103 kit bare minimum? I think he is wanting just a bolt in cam on the 96 with the mod's he mentioned. \\;
Lot's of great replies, thanks. Has anyone actually done this work themselves? Whats involved? I guess a cam how-to would benefit many.

That very well could be, I don't know for sure. Glad you mentioned that. Since my friend has a 103 it makes sense.
