I went with the SE204. Very good fit for the 103. Good pull and absolutely awesome idle.

U have a lot to learn, anyone who asks what cam do I need!!,,
FIRST, we need to know..

How Ur going to ride?

2up or solo.??
Loaded up or stripped down.
Bar hopping type racing or long trip on road??

NO,,, I said "NO" one cam can do it all, which is what U say U want...

Most newby's always want to know what's the BEST cams, and thats OK.. but there is NOOOOO magic cam that does it all.

U either get LOW-MID TQ -- or -- MID_HIGH TQ cams..
Now U can get it ALL (both LOW and HIGH rpms) if U want to Spend anywhere from $5,000. to $8,000 on Ur motor.

BUT first U need to determine what the hecK U really want.

Then U can ask us what we think would be a good cam for U...

Other than that, all U'll get in here is Usually ( I have @#@ Cams and that's what U want) cause I like them..

When I picked out my cams I probably spent well, well over 50hrs reading an learning about most all the different HD and aftermarket cams for Harleys..

Which is what I really think what everyone should do ( SPENT AT LEAST A LITTLE TIME READING [2-3 hrs]), INSTEAD of asking Joe Blow what's the BEST.

So without being a Smart A$$$,, HERES a LINK (BELOW) for U to Use and it will help U learn and afterwards U'll be a lot smarter than most in here on cams... If U read a little...

Because I am no way close to being an expert on cams,, but, I know I am no dummy either.. Thing is every YR the cam makers come Out with the new Flavor of the YR CAM (this yr the Woods 222's are new and really good)....
I will say the cam I picked for myself was Andrews 26's.. they are really good cams and are easy on Ur motor while giving decent number vs stock cams at low to mid rpms... but their are better cams for those who run in the MID TO UPPER rpms,, if they ride that way...

Ive never built a Harley up before so it was an honest question just to get some ideas on what to research. I usually ride stripped down 1 or 2 up. I do take some long trips but for the most part its racing around with buddies. I want a cam that isn't a pain to putt in traffic with. I want one that will make good power and that wont need to be changed when I put higher compression pistons and better flowing heads on it.
