Default SE-203 cams?

Thinking about putting a set of SE-203's, SE air filter, mufflers and a power commander on my stock TC88 06 RK. Anybody running a setup like this? If so, How much do you like it? Was it a big improvement in power? Thanks for any info.

That is like my setup only 7 c.i. smaller. I would think the cam and tune would help a bunch. I'm seeing 72 hp and 96 tq on mine and would think you'd see something similar.

I'm running the SE 95 ci w/203's and love them. They give you lots of low end torque and really kick in at about 70 for passing cars without having to downshift. Big difference over stock.

I have the SE 204 cams and love them. Lots of low-mid range power. Great on the highway when you need that extra passing power.

203's on an 88" is a waste of time and money. Any performance increase will be marginal at best.

Bite the bullet and do it all at one time and save some labor costs if having dealer do the work.

Here is a link with numerous setups and HP/TQ numbers for each. Consider the 211 cam, very happy with mine, bike pulls fantastic through all gears.

And that observation is from ?????? My nearly stock 88 feels a hell of alot stronger with the 204's than with the stockers.

OK Vern, you're right, 203's on a stock 88" will be a major difference from stock. [sm=bs.gif]

Like I said, marginal at best.[sm=devilgrin.gif]

Amen on the 211's, they will make your engine pull well into higher rpm still keeping good low end response, I had 211's on my 01 SE RG 95", otherwise stk except for Rine tru duals and race tuner. It was a nice set up with the added advantage of awesome sound with this cam/pipe combination.
