Go ahead, show it. The SE255 is a cam for a stage I, II or mild stage III build. The Woods cam, which I love by the way; and I don't even have it my bike by the way; so I'm not biased, by the way; can be used in a stage I,II, and a super duty stage III build; by the way!!! Did I say that you get so much more with the Woods TW6; by the way???
You're not supposed to show that! Don't you know the Woods cams are the shiznits in here!!

My hat is off to you, Carguy. 
Thanks for the tesimony.
Thanks for the tesimony.Well here's my 2 cents. I have a stock 07 Road Glide w/Kuryakyn breather, SEST, D&D Fat Cat 2 into 1 w/ performance baffle, and SE 255 cams.
This bike only had 6k miles on it and I just couldn't justify replacing the top end. After reading IClick's and others comments this sounded just like what I was looking for.
For those that want a meaningful increase for not very much cash outlay and are more into touring than banging it off the limiter this might be it. I have less than $600 in this including install. Much cheaper if you can install yourself.
I can easily hit 100 mph going onto an onramp to merge onto the super slab which is fast enough for me. 6th gear is where this cam shines for me. Our speed limit in Arizona is 75 which puts this cam right in it's sweet spot. I can now cruise in 6th and even steep inclines are no problem. I had no problem in 6th rolling on from 75 to 100. It was still pulling hard but had to back off because of traffic.
As far as mileage I set the cruise at 78 and did a half dozen roll ons to 90 and the one to 100 and averaged 46.2 mpg.
For those of us that tour and just want the power where we ride then checkout where the power is in the curve. Anyway it put a big smile on my face and I guess that's all that really counts.

Wow
I still havent done my dyno tune yet but my buddy liked my new cams so much he did the same ones. He just got it back from the Dyno - Stage 1 and S&S 510 cams- 88 HP and 98 torque.
He is really happy.
He is really happy.

not a wrench, but rode a friends classic with s&s510g cams, rinehart true duals, and se race tuner. rode nice, smooth, and plenty of low, and roll on power. did the same to my standard and getting about same numbers as you have here. i want to punch it out to a 103 and these cams will work good.

255's
Gotta agree with gliderxxx had the 103 stage 2 upgrade on my07 rk last winter with the 255's along with rinehart tru duals and sert then dyno'd ended up with 85 hp and 104 tq i ride 2 up alot with my old lady and the pulling power when entering a hi-way on an uphill grade is unbelieveable we both weigh in at over 400 lbs and the difference from stock is well just let me say i just crack the throttle and we both just hold on.
