Monk,
Great build! Congrats, I am sure that bike is fun to ride.

The difference between the 255 cams and the 258 cams is hp vs. tq.
The 255 builds more tq and the 258 builds more hp.

The main difference between your build and mine is cams and exhaust. You are getting 15 more hp, I am getting a little more tq.

Dennis

that's a 103 build that harley has had for years (called "103 ci high output")...this is the first chart I've seen of one other than in the se catalog...and yours makes more power than the one in the catalog...big difference between the 255 and 258 cams...the 255 makes great torque, actually more than this chart below 3000 rpm...kinda depends on whether you like to rev it up or not

Ah, good point, numbers probably would have been much higher if it had been done to a Suede Blue/Black bike!

Real Nice Numbers (Agreed) . garyhendley, doing 5000 mile service. With the Amsoil, for the motor & Primary does 20W-50W sounds right & 75W-90W for the transmission ?
