I want to get a little further thru the testing before we start posting charts, Lucas installed the 8th set of cams before we left for SEMA last week. Unfortunately he's been out sick the past 2 days He'll hopefully be back to testing tomorrow.

Does this mean the results will not be an accurate comparison for those with throttle by wire throttle bodies?

On a stock 103" engine power output is generally within about 2% between the throttle by wire and cable throttle bikes. We've tested & tuned in the hundreds of each in different configurations, our current testing confirms this as well.

Glad to see that you will be testing with the SE 255s.

To answer the 2 posts that mentioned "why would they test something they don't sell?" and "why test when all others out-perform?", the reason would be to let us with SE 255s see if it would be worth us changing to something else. And if so, which one.

I am really looking forward to the results. Thanks for taking the time and effort on this. I have been on the fence about my 103 cam for two years now. Hoping this will finally push me to make a decision.

Thanks for the efforts. I'm running a 117 B motor w MVA heads, SnS 570, and Samson true duals on my 2000 Heritage Springer.
