Default Improved Performance without going radical!!

I have a 2007 Streetglide with the SE stage 1 A/C, V&H dresser duals with Monster Ovals and the Fuelpak. Without going to a big bore kit, head mods etc, is there away to increase the HP and Torque further by simpler upgrades such as upgrading my CAMS ?????? If so what CAM kit would be recommended for an otherwise stock 96TC?

GPGXP,

I'm going through the same thing right now on my Ultra. I have it down to two Cam choices HQ500 and SE255. Most likely going to go with the HQ500's.

Try the Search feature, you will find a ton of info.

the S&S .510,.551 or .570`s are a real good choice,i would think about going to 103",not that big of a deal,and would make a big difference.we build alot of mild touring motors,and these cams work great for a real nice package,more usable power with stock like rideability & reliablility

Depends on how you ride and where you want the power to hit. I don't lug mine down in the 1800-2k range. I am getting just shy of 100ft/lbs of torque with a nice flat curve with the 204's. A bunch of guys that ride more conservatively opt for the 255's that make their power lower in the rev range. The dyno sheets that I saw with the 211's peak higher but much later in the RPM range.

If you do a search there are tons of threads about it. Just be honest with what you want and how you ride then look at the dyno sheets to pick the right cam based on how you ride.

Good point todd-67. I am not a speed freak or racer but I am looking for more lower to mid range torque primarily to help minimize the need for downshifting everytime I need to accelerate in passing on the highway and lane changing in the city. I also want to maintian good rideability & reliablility. A little exhaust bump could be fun too!!!!!
