It is an 07 Ultra, with 58k. I am going with the S&S 551 easystart cam. I have a map from Fuel Moto that should be close, but I will want it tuned.
Fuel Moto rocks.

There is nothing to break in.................get it on the dyno and get it tuned.

Only time you have to go easy is when you put in new pistons/rings.....then it only takes 10 minutes to break it in.

If you go with new cylinders instead of boring existing ones, then you have to go easy for 500 miles to heat cycle the cylinders.

I guess it's safe to say your happy with the S&S 551's ES?? I have the SE 255's now but thinking about doing the S&S 106 kit and don't want to mix and match parts!

there is no break in for a cam. if anything wears that quick after a cam swap, you've got problems!
