Default "Cooler" Cam

I have a 2013 CVO Road Glide that I just love. Rush headers with Big Louie Pipes, Stage 1 Air Cleaner, And a Power Vision from Fuel Moto. I haven't done a Cam yet. I remember reading someplace that the 255's that come stock in the 110 can really put out some heat. I don't really have any complaints on how it runs but it runs warmer than I like. Any Cam recommendations that will help me at least keep what I have but hill help drop the temp >

Well, you will hear different opinions about this but I would just stick with what you have and find a reputable dyno tuner nearby. A proper dyno will help what you have reach its full potential and alleviate a lot of those heat issues without having to swap cams.
Did you purchase the Auto tune pro kit from fuel Moto for your power vision as well? If so, a few auto tune runs may help a bit but won't quite get you where a good dyno by a reputable tuner will.

255s actually work pretty good in cvo 110s because of the low compression they have. That also limits cam selection without pistons and/or headwork. Andrews 48 is close to 255 but without epa restrictions and may help with heat. Of course a proper tune is the key.

Heres what you need to go along with proper dyno tune to ensure motor's not too lean adding to heat issues.

Get it tuned by someone who knows how to tune. If you want to make some real power add a set of 10:5 to 1 pistons with the Tman 625 cams.

Great choice of bike and add ons.

It is all about the tune. Find a good Dyno guy and he will guide you accordingly. Likely just need to give to him and let the magic happen. Everything about the bike will be better after a session with a good tuner.
