I am currently waiting for the 555 Wolf cam so that it can be installed on my FLTRX. Guy said it would be in, in a few weeks. Cant wait!!!!! Should an awesome set-up! Looking at the specs of the several i chose from, it should be the best.

If i was going to use a Screamin' Eagle for a street glide, 204 would be it. Check out the new 555 Wolf cam for the best results. Will out perform any torque cam on the market.

I'm no wrench by any means don't understand why you'd say that. I know different tuner and and dyno but theres a dyno sheet with the exact heads I got with 204's comin in at 92 & 107.I got 254's mines hittin 100tq. at about 2650 and fallin below 100 tq. at 5000. peak hp.97 peak tq.110.Not tryin to start no pi$$in match I guess I'm missin somethin,same goes for the 255's great low end tq. and good midrange.waste of money? I doubt it.

I used 254e's several times with stock heads and ranged from 90-93 hp and 107-110 ft lbs. The 254e does not take advantage of using your SE heads. The 204 cam will make power off of idle and up to about 5600 rpm. I have used them both enough to know which is better. The heads and package you are running, you should have used a different cam.

Everyone has an opinion but I really like my SE255. It really depends on where you ride at in the rpm range. This cam picks up at just over 2500 and runs out at almost 3500, but the torque increase to me fits my purpose. Torque specs are below the pic.
