I wanna go fast
Got a power question.
I went with SE 255 cams about 6 months ago. No dyno, but I feel the difference, and was happy. Well now I want more torque.
I have a power vision and Jamie at FM hooked me up with a map. I did the auto, and it seems to run good.
I talked to a local guy about more HP, and he said I went with the wrong cams, he like woods 555 or 777 much better.
I did the 255s cause they local HD was running a special on those cams and install.... I might have made the wrong move, but oh well, it happens.
I might have have an extra $900 to spend.
Should I buy FM 107 heads and pistons, and keep the 255s for now, and maybe one day upgrade the cams again????
What would be the next step to give me the biggest bang for my buck?? I always ride solo, usually packed light, and like low end torque. I like dead stop acceleration, and acceleration from 30-60.... Maybe from 50-70...... I don't like to go real fast, I just like quick throttle responce.
Thanks guys!!

Spend your money on a gxer, hayabusa, or cbr, or any other metric superbike that will run circles around your Harley all day long. If you really want to go fast you can't beat a machine that weighs 400 lbs, has 140 Hp, and redlines at 15000 rpms. Otherwise, enjoy the ride.
The SE255 is a low rpm grunt cam, good cam for the bottom but not for power
If you have a 96 inch motor, do the 107 kit or if you got a 103, do new cams.
Maybe you can work a kit deal with someone & get both...

I'm getting ready to upgrade my FM 107 with 555 cams to 888 Cams and domed pistons with 10:7 commpression. Do 107 jugs next if you can't toss the coin for the full Monty. It will make a huge difference. You can always go back and do the heads at a later date.
Edit: You're in Houston. Let's hook up, I'll show you first hand how a FM 107 hauls ***. PM me.
