This is what makes it hard. Many people say the 211 is great and many others say they aren't. How can it be both ways? The mechanic that always works on my bike says I need the 211 and he based it on his experience of riding many bikes with different cams that he installed. He pulls another mechanic over and asks what cam I should use, and that guy says the 211. The guy says if I had a small bar hopper I would like the 203, but for my bigger touring bike he says go with the 211. These guys are master mechanics with many years of experience. I appreciate everyone's input, but I'm still not sure what to do. Has anyone actually tried both cams in a bagger to compare or is your suggestion based on what someone else told you?

I'm with you and your Indy Ozoneman. I will be installing the 211 into my stock 88", although I have true dual and SERT. The 203's aren't much over stock at all. I made my choice after riding an Ultra with the 211's. It felt like a new motor. No, it wasn't a screamer, but, my butt liked it. I'm also changing out the cam plate to the SE '07 model with upgraded fuel pump too.

My mechanic used the same words that you did, "It will feel like a new motor!" He also said the 203s weren't much over stock. It sounds like you are getting similar information that I got.
Are you getting an upgraded fuel pump or oil pump? The hydraulic update includes an updated oil pump.

My bike is in the shop now and he will start the work tomorrow. I already have SERT and I'm having true duals put on too. While he is doing all this stuff he is also going to change the cam chain tensioners to the hydraulic updated version.

I'm condfident that you will enjoy the 211's. Do you have a "before" dyno sheet to compare to? I know your a$$ will know the difference.

Ozoneman, I think you will be happy with your choice. Plus with a good dyno tune, they should be able to dial in your bike for the bottom end tq.
I am no expert, but from my dyno sheet, Iam pulling full tq by 2500-3000 rpm,and stays flat all the way out. With 100 tq, I doing good as it is to hold on, and I have not even tried to hit it hard yet.
good luck with your build.

Yeah, I have a dyno when I had the SERT installed last year.
71.2 HP, 73.72 Torque, I think he tuned it for both good mileage and performance.
