There is a difference between a Rushmore stage 1 and a pre Rushmore 103. The tq being higher after 2014 is the ho cams vs the pre 2014 stock cams. So a 2014 up will have more power. The op running more compression gives the extra tq along with the higher lift cam. The springs are at the cusp of .580-.600 the beehive can handle. I wouldn't have went that much cam without the headwork to support it. So the 120tq is more than just cams added. Had some headwork been done the HP would be higher.

Overall not bad but you really only have what cams usually will deliver for power and add a couple ft lbs tq for the compression compared to stock. Not raining on parade but a 107 would have been likely cheaper and better performance. Just cams,good pipe and air cleaner on my 103 dyna was 93/107 sae. Either way enjoy the ride.
Same here. Just cams and I am at 92.12 hp and 106.67 tq on a15 Ultra Limited.

seems real high, to be frank. Seeing as the HP #'s are inline, probably true #'s so who knows.


Have you ridden it yet?
No I won't get to ride it for probably 2 months. The highest temp I've seen today is 6*F

I've had more than one tech tell me that the 585 cam absolutely should not be used with stock springs. Lift is too high for stock springs.

Yeah my dealer said "it looks like it would probably work with the stock springs but Harley suggests the other ones for a reason"
