You left stock heads on do u have the factory decompression releases on your heads my 2009 96 didnt have them when i put the 255 in with stock head my bike never would have started without the manual onese i had put in when i did the 103 kit
How is yours for turning over when it starts
It starts like a champ - I don't even notice the difference. I still have the stock heads and lifters too. Since I have the Power Vision, I didn't have it dyno tuned so have no numbers to post. I have the exact setup as the one that FM posted though, so I imagine its close to those.

My plan looks a lot like the bike in your signature. I think I can see TW222's coming very soon in my future.

At just about 10,000 miles on the upgrade now, and still makes me smile.
I don't think you'll be disappointed.

I haven't logged any real longs trips yet to gauge where the fuel economy is, but every time I hop on the bike I am more and more pleased with its performance. If I really get on it when hopping on the freeway, I'm at 105mph by the time I have to merge - never had that kind of performance before the cam. I further stand by my previous statement about 5th being useless (well just not needed) - My 6th gear pulls so hard now, it's more than enough when I need passing power and I no longer need to down shift.

I've got as low as 28 mpg on the interstate doing 90, to 50 mpg in CO on non ethanol. It's all in the wrist
Mostly 38 to 42 avarage.

Well, just read this entire thread and this past weekend installed tw-222's with VH Pro pipe and fuel moto stage 1. Power Vision map from fuel moto. I was so ready to have my arms straightened out when I crack the throttle, but it is not happening. As far as seat of the pants feel, there is only a slight increase in power over the stage 1 setup with VH pipe and Power Vision.

With how it runs now, I cant say it was worth the time or the cost. I will be checking with Fuel Moto tomorrow to see if there is some testing that can be done.

Bike is a 2010 FLHTK 103" with 7k miles.

Maybe cam timing off a tooth? There should be a very noticeable seat of the pants increase.
