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 wise if ya snag some 255 sticks on the cheap good on ya, i ran mine for 10,000 miles.
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

 

I wanted to stick with a low buck approach for my Stage 1 & 2 and save the bigger $$ for the 107" kit in a year or two. When it is time I will probably go with whatever a shop like Fuel Moto suggests top to bottom.

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.
