Feuling cam chest kit?
Anyone have any experience with this kit?
Thinking of installing it in my 15 RoadGlide with their 543 cams.
Ant experience out there with this Feuling stuff?
Thanks for your time,

I had a Fueling cam chest in my 2011 FLHTK. I also had their high volume oil pump. I like the cams, they were gear drive. I also like the fact that the high volume oil pump kept my oil very cool. I did the thermostat mod so I cooled oil all the time. I would only reach 200 degrees if I was idling in traffic. Once I began moving, the oil temp would drop to around 170. I had some work done on the motor and the guy said the cam chest was shot. He put a screamin eagle in along with the SE oil pump. Now, I am always running higher oil temps, 220 - 280. Going back to the Fueling set up this winter!!!

HP+ 543 kit
Has cams, pump, cam plate, lifters, adjustable pushrods, bearings and all the gaskets.
My only concern is that looking at their dyno printouts they are making only about 3 more HP and 3 more tq then my stage 1 bike is making now.
That is $1,600 for parts and a weekend of work putting it all together for 3 hp/tq?
Just wondering experiences others have had.

I was curious about a similar Feuling kit also. Just the pump and cam plate. Maybe just the pump.
It'd be going into my 120R.
I also have the Love-Jugs. They are great in Sturgis - but it still gets hot. Stop n go. stop n go....

I had the Fueling camplate and oil pump and I had issues. I'm not 100% certain they were the problem yet, but my oil pressure was no better than a stock setup and after 5K miles the oil pressure started dipping even more. When I took the motor apart I found that the back of the cams were rubbing the flywheel, but only under load apparently. Still trying to figure out how. I have a welded and balanced crank with runout under .001 so I'm leaning towards the camplate was flexing. My winter project is rebuilding the motor and finding something to put it in.
I have seen posts by a few reputable engine builders that say there is nothing wrong with the stock camplate and oil pump so don't waste your money.

I am running the fueling 525 camchest kit high output oil pump.. 91 hp 105 tq....that said it solved the oil mist issue caused by a SE air filter and Vance Hines with CFR mufflers (well thats what i thought anyway) ... as far as oil pressure I'm on the fence seem to be dropping the more i ride pressure at idle and after warm up...

I would think that's possible if the Fueling set-up was ridden in January and February and the SE set-up in July and August, but if your comparing apples to apples I just don't see it.
