Default Oh no.... another cam thread?

I've read a lot of cam threads trying to find some consensus...

I want to pick up a set of used cams and am trying to prioritizes a list of "possibles"...

I have a stock 2011 RKC 103. Decatted head pipe.

Have not decided on a tuner or intake/breather yet....

Thoughts on this order?

- SE204's
- Woods 555's
- Andrews 57h's
- Andrews 48's
- Woods 777

I do not plan on pulling the heads any time soon although I may get wild hair some winter...

Thoughts?

I would narrow it to the 555s and 57s but add cr 570-2...

Had the SE 204s in a ‘11 SG. Had the stock header decatted and a set of Kerker slip ons. Dynoed with the old SE orange tuner. Ran great, sounded great and made about 100tq/100hp.

Any experience with S&S MR103 cams? The Indy close to my house swears by them for the stock 103....

If you're not bumping the compression I would add the Woods TW222 to your list as well. The TW555 and TW777 want a little bit more compression.

I had the WT555 cams in my last bike.
2011 FLHTK with the 103.
FM Air intake, Power Vision PV1 Tuner, TW555 Cams,
Jackpot 2-1-2 Headers, FM 4 1/2" Pro Touring slip on's

They sound really nice at idle and under power.
Very good low and mid range power.

Good Luck in your search.
