Cam Selection
OK, the bike is a 2003 Night Train with Mikuni Carb, and stage 1 intake and exhaust.
Just finished installing Harley SE 203 cams. Although an improvement over stock, they are not the bang for the buck I was hoping for. I want a cam set that provides higher torque and performance, Just Off Idle and through Mid Range without sacrificing top end. Recommendations?

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. SE cams SUCK! Not one of 'em can even bring a 103 motor to 100 tq - and this according to H-D's own parts catalog. Pathetic. If you really want to feel the difference a good cam can make, don't even bother spending time or money on SE...

Andrews 26 if you're stay at 88."
You might want to look at the dyno "sticky" at the beginning of this section. Scott at Hillside or Jamie at FuelMoto are great to deal with and won't try to sell you something you don't need or want.

I don't know if I'd say SE suck. Exhaust choice has so much to play today. I did a TW222 on a '12 FLSTN 103" tc and got poor results with duals. as with a SE11 on a '97 80" evo I got big grins with duals
. they are both mfg'd by Andrews. differnet motors and different requirements.!!!!! which side of the sword do you want to fall on?

Just doing cams should give U a 12-20% improvement at different RPM's..
To really understand what U want, Put in here Ur before cam and after cam Dyno's sheets so we can compare what U had to what U have.
Then we can see what Really happened to U Numbers instead of guessing what happened.
The SE 203's are not a bad set of cams, close to my 26h'ers and most others mentioned in here.
If U want more Tq U really need to look at a 95'' kit and some Good street head porting with a little higher compression... Then U should have a smile on Ur face a lot more.
Also what pipes U running.?. that makes a bid diff also.
