I know different cams do different things. What do I do to get a little more top speed without losing the quickness. Don't get me wrong, I hardly ever go over 80 unless I'm passing in a hurry or maybe a couple of times on a long trip see how fast it will go on a long straight away. I would like to at least go a little over an 88 or 96. Love the quickness though.

Any other engine mods that increase power, speed or longivity besides cams?

Got a '10 Road King,bored to 103,Hi comp pistons,SE 255 cams,SE Pro tuner,Big K&N intake and Freedom Performance 4 inch exhaust.124 mph on the GPS. It has 41,000 on it,runs like a striped ape. 46 mpg out on the road.

Hanover/Lebanon area - yeah, may just stay with 103, been great engine for me so why muddy the waters. Will just wait & see
