Just had the TMan 555 torqster cams installed with V&H Monster Ovals, SE Pro tuner, SE Air cleaner on my 2012 FLHTK and SWEEEEEET!
Rides like I was expecting the bike to ride when I bought it.
83.30m Max Power 97.34 Max Torque
You have to remember also that each DYNO is different, I could run this on some else's dyno and get different numbers, the true dyne is the Butt Dyno and that one tells me ALL I need to know.

He has a 2-1-2, which should be as good as a 2-into-1. It's the vital first part of the 2-1- that matters most!

I will have to get the SE Race Tuner if I do any more mods, it will only work for a basic Stage I from what I underStand. Thanks for the reply, that's what I'm looking for, enough power so I can cruise in 6th gear and don't need to downshift to go up a hill or pass a car.

What were your numbers before the cam install?

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "the vital part" but I think we are in agreeance here. If he had say, a D&D Fatcat with either a louvered or perforated wrapped baffle (depending on desired noise level), I'm sure his numbers would go up but not so much as to warrant the $1000 it would cost. He's got a great ride there!

thanx, it does run good and is going to make an excellent touring rig. The exhaust changes i was thinking of was simply adding some more discs. The tuner said I would likely see more power by adding some discs, but I oppted not to since I don't like all the noise on long trips anymore. He also indicated that I was getting some clutch slippage, but I don't seem to feel it on the road.

safe riding to all

FWIW: Harley hasn't sold the SE Race Tuner since 07. Which was when Steve Cole went out on his own and separated from Harley as TTS. You are probably looking for the SESPT (SE Super Pro Tuner.) if it is by Harley

Runs pretty sweet, but I think I can improve some with the exhaust. Dyno attached..........

I agree with stogieluvr60 .... nice numbers thunderrat, especially with 100+ ft-lbs at 2500 and 9.8 CR.

I probably shouldn't even do this, cause then I will start throwing money at it chasing some number on they dyno, but oh well, only live once. If I had to quess, I would say HP is close to 80 and tourqe close to 90, probably a 78/88 number based on what I have found on the internet. I planning on putting the T-Man 600 or 555 cams in and see if I can get to about 88/96 numbers.
As a comparison, here is my baseline dyno run before my 107" build .... 2011 103", V&H PD's, Bassani's Megaphones with 2-1/4's, SE Heavy Breather, SE 254E's & SEPST ...

The 555 Torquester cam is a very nice cam down low, and has very similar specs to the Andrews 57H.
I was considering T-man 555 cams, but opted for the 57 instead... glad I did, It saved me ~ $140.
Both come on very strong and run relatively quiet; from experience, the Andrews is as quiet as stock.

Putting in a set of cams will make all the difference in the way your bike runs/feels... and it will feel like a completely different machine!!
Good luck on your decision. In the end, the numbers won't/shouldn't matter, it's where you feel the power come on that really counts.
