2012 street glide 103 performance mods
Hey guys,
Im about to tear into the bike and wanted to see what you guys think on the mods while im taking stuff off to powder coat. I ordered a thundermax tuner, ordered two sets of pipes for an 09 touring (18mm bungs for 02 sensors). i have a PM fast air intake. My question is, do any of you have experience with 255 cams for the 103 on a touring bike, my buddy has a set laying around. Just wondering if i should throw them in there while i have the cam cover off. I have D&D fat cat 2n1 and a thunder header 2 n 1. Which pipes put out more horse power? thanks, look forward to picking yalls brains.

As for the stock cams they are the same cams that have been used since the 96" motor has come out. Since you are doing a tuner I say put the cams in and change the inner cam bearings while you are in there too. I have the same cams waiting to go in myself....... Good cams for low end torque. Ask you tuner, if you are going to use one, which pipes are better, or should say, he has an easier time tuning.

If you already have them, and it is going to be apart... go for it. The HD site, and 1000's of threads here leave no doubt that it is an improvement over stock. I myself put one in last year and am very satisfied with the boost in performance.
