Yes, in fact it is. I actually checked, or thought I did, and had the impression the OP had an '11 Limited. Instead of going to the top of p. 1 I looked at GDAustin's bike (top of p. 4) thinking he was the OP. Thanks for the clarification, and I edited that post to avoid confusion.

I looked (researched) a lot for the cams for my Screamin Eagle Dyna, and finally decided it was between two cams, the Andrews 54H or Dave Mackie TC575L, BUT now starting over on my Road Glide Custom with the 103, I guess my old research is getting thrown out the window and I will have to start over, BUT I will bet one thing, the cam I decide on will not be anything Harley makes.

I did not mean to hijack the thread from the OP. After I saw the post for the SE255s for $100.00 I figured I might want to get a few questions answered if I could about the SE255s. Yes I have a 2011 FLHTK 103" bike and since most my questions were generic I figured they might benefit all. I will do some more research or start a new thread concerning the "best" all around cam for my situation. I am interested in getting the best cam for under 4500 RPM ridding most the time. I am not real interested in giving up 5MPG for 1-2 torque or Horse Power gains and if the SE255s were a good fit I would contact the prevous poster that had a set for sale. Thanks again for your quick responses and hopefully I can get the same response in my new thread.

As for TQ increase, I think it fair to say you'll get in the neighborhood of 10 ft/lbs increase, and that will happen in a favorable part of RPM band, IMO. As for HP, hard to say, but I've seen 4-10hp increases with a cam-only upgrade.

Bought 09 Street Glide in with 103" , Rush slip-ons dealer installed with 255's no complaints . It has good low end mid-range/tourque . All I was looking for was chrome front forks didn'nt notice it had a 103 till after I put money down on it !

good luck tuning the 211's
taking a set of 211's out this week, just to much trouble to tune for normal street riding, best for all out drag racing. I have a PV that I tune with, and has been almost impossible to get a good MAP in place and ride normally. Going with the SE255's for better cam for 96" motor, IMO.
