SE 255 Cams
I'm looking for a little first hand experience/advice on these cams from other bagger pilots. I have used the search feature on this site, and others, and honestly I have read so much cam information my head is spinning.
Here is what I got:
07 FLHX with Reinhardts true duals, and Power Commander, other then that...its stock, and I'm looking for some more low end grunt.
I have read good and bad about the SE 255 cams, so I'm just asking for some advice. I'm not planning on a 103" kit at this time, just need some more power
If I were to go with the SE 255's what kind of tune/map would I need to get? Or would it be alright to ride it with the current map on the power commander?
I have a set of SE 203 Cams I bought awhile back before I bought my FLHX, but after doing some reading...I don't know if thats what I need.
I appreciate the advice.

If your looking for that "low end grunt" the 255's are just the ticket! You will need a new map for that PC. Should be able to get the map from PC website or, an even better map from Jamie @ Fuel Moto.

New 2009 Ultra last April..
Put on V&H Monster Ovals, Fuel
Moto Stg 1 AC and the PC V... That was nice...
Next I had the SE255 cams installed (bought them on E-bay) was going to do the install myself but had a lifter go bad under warranty and had the dealer install the 255's and tappered, adjustable pusrods when they had it apart... Added some nice low end grunt... I was happy...
I wanted more, so, at 9500 miles I installed a S&S 106 BigBore Kit and the AutoTune for the PCV..
Now I'm a real happy camper...

I have a SE255 cam with V&H's dresser duals, Monster Ovals and stage1 AC. I have a PC-V from FuelMoto with their map. You will enjoy the new found low end grunt.

Good low end with these cams. I am always in the powerband when I cruise at 2,600 to 3,000 rpms. No need to shift down to pass most any normal traffic on the rode. Just twist the throttle and smile.

I got mine installed a couple of weeks ago by a friend of mine; kept stock pushrods.
I have an 08 police bike with the 103 engine. When I got it, I was somehow disappointed with performance.
Installed Jackpot exhaust, SE air filter and TFI and it improved quite a bit. As a matter of fact I was happy with the performance. Then I started reading about the se255's and it caught my attention so I got them installed.
With the new cams, I did switch to a power commander and yes, I did notice some improvement but not much. BTW, I used a map from power commander and I was not very happy with it so I started tinkering with it.
I noticed that the throttle position was not set right, fixed it and now I can see why everybody is so happy with the se255 !, well worth the money spent. I really like them, great improvement. Even on 6th passing on the highway there is plenty of power.
