Goodbye se255, hello tw555
Well, My 103 streetglide is sitting on my lift all torn apart waiting on parts, In my quest for more power I decided on woods 555 cams and stage one porting from scott at Hillside, as I have heard nothing but good about his shop. My 255 cammed bike with a big sucker breather and thunderheader made 89hp and 111 tq. If I come out of this with roughly 105hp and 115 tq, good mid range from 2000 to 5500 rpm, I would be tickled, Why the change? As much as I liked the 255s, I just want more power!!!

I sure hope I made the right choice, many hours spent studying cams and headwork on this forum. As I could not decide between FM 107 or going this way, Price wise they were pretty close.

Exactly. You won't feel a difference IMO. You feel torque, HP is for racing at the top of the rpm range.

I'm quite happy with my torque numbers, Horse Power is what I am chasing after. Just trying to get a quicker more balanced motor.

I'm hoping (honestly) that you get just what your lookin' for.
Just remember... torque can be measured, horsepower is a calculation.
Best of luck chasin' those horses!
