If you look at my post, I wasn't referencing anything you said. I was referencing a post by BackRoader who claimed a cam change makes minor difference.

I have a 2011 Ultra Ltd with hi flow breather, D&D Fatcats full exhaust
(not just slipons) and a PCV currently.

I ride 2 up often and my riding style is not very aggressive. I like the low end torque. Looking for quickness off the line and passing abilities. I rarely ever go above 75mph so I don't care about top end speed. I generally do not buzz past 4500rpm either.

My bike is black so its already the fastest bike from the factory but want to give it a bit more oomph.
My torque is max at 4000 rpm you can see my upgrades in my sig.

I got my Chrome Cash and picked up the following:

SE255 cams
Boom Audio speakers - front & rear
TL Phase 7 light and passing lamps

TLs are on order so I cannot install yet.

I debated and debated and debated in my head on which cam to go with. I chose the SE255s. I'm not looking to drag race. I just want a little extra oomph. I think this will satisfy me. If not...they are cheap and should sell easy on eBay, right?

yes they seem easy to sell for $125-150 seem like they move pretty fast when selling for that price. I just picked up a set of 254's and was going back and froth between the 255's and the 254's but think the 254's will match my riding style better on my rgu.
