Default 211 cam question

Has anyone put a 211 cam in a road king with only a 95" big bore kit? If so, what are your thoughts?

A buddy of mine has 211's in his 03 RKC with a 95" kit but because of the big duration numbers of the cam he needed to up the compression to 10.25 with SE pistons. He also installed a SE ignition module and SE clutch but ran the stock heads and stock header pipes with SE slip ons. The bike works very good but power dosen't start until 2500 RPM and pulls to well over 5500. Don't quote me but I think he dynoed 86 hp and 89 ft/lbs of torque. This year he switched to HTCC heads, 11 to 1 compression pistons a Thunder header but still 211 cams. This thing ,this year ,makes last years mods look weak although it did work really well last year. NO dyno numbers yet but it seems like it has much more than last year.

11 to 1 compression? YIKES! He's just asking for trouble....Isn't he worried about detonation? Does he use octane booster in that thing? It must sound brutal though with the T-headers when he cracks that thing

Yes octane booster is now a way of life and yes when he gets on it, the sound just makes you smile. It's hard to believe how hard this thing really pulls for a bike that you throw your wife on the back and go.
