Has the cam been changed?

I bought a used 2001 Road King this year, and I know some work has been done on it but not sure what. It has had air cleaner changed to open back up, has a power commander on it, and the push rod tubes are changed with adjustable push rods. The bike only had 14000 miles on it and runs very strong. I am trying to fiqure out if the cams have been changed also. I also want to see how to change the pc program it runs a little rich.

Find out who the previous owner was, or where they bought it from.. and go from there.

More than likely if head work has been done then it has cams put in it. Head work is expensive compared to cams in the grand scheme of things.Also head work on a stock cam wont get much bang for the buck compared to a more aggresive cam and head work.
I am assuming that it has a higher flow intake?

Kind of a PITA but most cams are stamped so you could always open it up and look.

I don't think the heads have been off just lifter blocks and cam plate. I figured the oil pump was changed and because of low miles I am thinking proble put cams in it. I had it put on dyno and its pushing 90 ft lbs and over 80 horse power.

With them numbers the cams have been changed. My 06 ultra classic has stage 2 AC, V & H duals, PC, stock cams for now and is in low to mid 70's HP & TQ. Guy I got it from had it dyno tuned and I have the sheet.

You could plug in to the power commander and look at the map. The power commander file has a notes section at the bottom of the screen. When I had a PC3, like most others, I used the notes section to keep track of what map I had and what setup it was for. It might tell you exactly what you have but to be sure remove the cam cover and look at the ends of the cams.
I have an 06EG with the stock 88ci, Andrews TW21 cams and dyno tuned and I am running the same hp/tq that you have.
