I have a 2012 Road King stage 1 SE air cleaner with the FP3 tuner stock head pipes with Big Louie mufflers, Ok Andrews 57h cams or screaming eagle 255 cams?

 

I have a 2013 RK with Fullsac header and Rinehart slip-ons, and I put in the 57H cam last November. I like it a lot, but some folks thing you lose too much off the bottom end with this cam. I ride this bike solo almost all the time, and it has not been a problem for me. I have not had it tuned (currently on canned Dynojet tune), so I can't tell you what it is putting out. I know the thing gets up on the freeway right quick.

 

 

I’m not to good at getting around this site as I’m kinda new here so forgive me if I make mistakes thank you

thanks for your reply, I ride solo most of the time as she has a 13 Switchback, but I’m looking for more power for when she rides with me (passenger) for the most part I’m happy with the performance as is but I need just a little more, I can feel the difference when she is on the bike.

 

Go back one page to the pinned article from Fuel Moto where they compare a whole bunch of cams for the 103". Then, don't just look at peak numbers, but where on the chart it make it's power and where the torque peak is. Most of us ride in the 2k to 4k RPM range. Between the 2 you mention the 57H is probably better, but if your riding a touring bike look at the 48H as it has a little more torque down low.

 

The Andrews 48 is a really good cam for stock compression 96 and 103s, I've never heard or seen anything but rave reviews. The Fuel Moto 103 dyno post is a really good resource, if I were riding 2 up on a 103 I'd go with the Andrews 48 over the 57.

 

Neither, you need the SE 254e cams

 

I agree with Sean regarding the 48H cam for two up riding. It will give you more grunt in the lower RPM ranges, and it is better with stock compression. The 57H is good for solo, but you do need to get some RPMs going.

 

If you're not going to bump up compression via at least a .030 HG, I'd do the Andrews 48. The 57 really needs 10.2 compression or above.

Make sure you get a real tuner (TTS, PV), a good exhaust, and a real dyno tune. If you don't save your money.

 

Se255 cam came stock in the tc cvo’s For years. It is a very good cam for mid range power.
