I already have the 255's, and am perfectly happy, just curious why "The TW 222 cam, that's the cam that you need in place of the SE 255."

Just to co sign what was said... i bought my 255s on ebay for $130 and the gary beaty bearing tool i think it was $90. Stock pushrods and only bought rocker box cover gaskets and cam cover gasket. So for the money i really like the way the bike runs now (already had rsd ac dragos true duals and tmax). I had my eye on tman 555 torqster but cant beat the bang for the buck with 255. When i go big bore i will spend on a bigger cam.

Cost
Different dynos, on different days with no mention on state of tune is hardly conclusive, but hey, you spent the big $$$ so it must be way better.
Look, I'm not saying that the TW222 aren't great cams, they may very well be, but the SE255 is a great bagger cam for a fraction of the cost.

Not bad cam, I suppose I just wanted that extra torque
As you noted, a Good tune always helps, Your are absolutely correct.
Preference, and cost savings are choices to consider. I decided to go for the newer cam, and i went with Feuling lifters, and Zippers cam shoe tensioners.
I think that engine wise, this will be my level of engine upgrade for a while, good to go.
Cheers,
Mark

My Stage 2:
- Wild Pig Slipons= $200
- EJK Controller = $80 (ebay)
- Ness Intake = $120
- SE255 = $120
- Bearings/Install = $120
------------------------
Total $640
I'm good to go for now, but will keep ALL options open for the next go around.
