Default Cam options and opinions

ok guys i am running a 2007 FLHT 103 cubic inch, SE255 cams, set of heads, with bigger valves, full true dual rinehardt exhaust SE air cleaner and power commander i am wondering what a set of .575 cams would do for me? what would be biggest differences? positves? negatives? also should i go with a 50 mm throttle body as well let me know what u guys think thanks in advance

who did your heads? you could look into woods, he has a nice selection and ive had good luck with them. you just want to make sure everything complements one another. you are gonna want a cam thats happy with your compression. and i would just have your stock throttle body re-worked, check out hillside, they could hook you up with this.

my heads were done by a guy in Eastern Canada here by the name of Dave Lind he does a lot fo work on drag bikes etc and his work is known pretty well here in my area my stock intake was matched and polished to the heads when he did them so maybe thats all i require

yea sounds like your set there then. i would possibly try a woods tw7h or a tw6h. the 6h is a .590 lift cam, but it seems to work well on my fathers roadking. hes making 106hp and 103tq on a 95 build. lots a torque down low

Woods TW5-6 or Cyclerama 575 both seem to work well on the 103 motors. Doubt the larger throttle body would make much difference unless you have the heads ported.
