My cousin upgraded the cams on his '12 FLHX and my number are pretty close. But my numbers are a touch higher. I'm gonna be patient and see what develops for the new '14 motor. Seems like doing the stage one conversion is like a "default" maneuver for me. This is my 4th Harley, and every one has had this done. So cams will be next, but not soon.

rob5r1 I agree with you, it looks like your stsage 1 combo made the new factory cam the "Right" one already! I put the "right" cam in my 08 96 with S&S power duals and Kerker muffs and didn't get that kind of power or torque, Andrews 48 got me approx 80/90 on a stingy dyno on a 96 degree day. It looks like getting an easy 10 or 15 hp/tq just from a cam change isn't gonna be happening that easy anymore with the improved cams and compression on the 14s. 86/105 without opening up the motor at all and no cost for cams, pushrods or labor should keep lots of folks happy! At least a grand in their pockets too.

those #s look great for a stage 1, The cams I installed on my FLHXS really didn't add alot compared to your set up. I ended with 94hp and 114tq with se204's using sepst.

Yeah, this is one reason I want to wait and allow companies that make cams to design something specifically for the 2014 motor. Hopefully someone will come up with a combo that has more "bang for the buck".

Your FLHXS still made right at 10% over the previous 103's with similar mods. My 2011 with a Stage 2 (SE254's), exhaust, AC and SEPST did 87rwhp/103rwt as the baseline run before building my FM107.
