Need Cam Advice
I have an 09 Ultra currently with stock header and 3 1/2" Reinheardts. The motor is currently stock except for the Big Sucker and a Screaming Eagle Race Tuner. I'm considering going with a V&H Power Duals Header and the 3 1/2" Reinheardts. Since I would have to get it tuned again, this would be a good time to change out the stock cams. I need to stay with a Harley brand due to the extended warranty I have. I'm thinking the SE255s but would like to get some thoughts. I do a bit more open road riding than city type riding. I shift for the most part between 3,000 & 3,500 RPMs. Would the 255s give the power in the band I ride or is there another one I should look at.
Thanks

I put the 255's in my 09 RKC and absolutely love them. I have plenty of low end pull for two up riding with the wife and also loaded up with gear. I do not think they are made for high end speed but from 1st to 5th it gives me plenty of giddy-up when needed. I have the stage 1 a/c, V&H Power Duals w/Ovals and PCV 5, this set up works well for me...

I have the extended warranty and I went with the TW222's from FuelMoto after talking with Jaime. And my dealer did the work with no issues.

I'm also looking at putting these in my '14 Ultra Limited. I spoke with the dealer and he told me this is their #1 selling cam by far. I need to get a few more miles on the motor and then let the build begin!!

I just put SE255's in my 09 Ultra and wish I had done it sooner. May want to look at the easy start SE255's. My 09 will buck a little when starting sometimes since the 255's were installed but not a real problem.
