Default Camming a 2013 CVO Road Glide

I've added Rush Premium Touring Duals, 4 inch Big Louie Mufflers with 2.25 baffles and a Power Vision. I don't plan on doing anything else but a cam swap. Don't want to mess with the heads. I'm looking at a few Cams, Andrew 54, CycleRama 575, Fueling 574, Red Shift 575. I consider myself a typical rider, some 2 up, mostly cruising, and a little hot rodding....
Anything that really seperates any of these 4 from one another ? The Good The Bad ?

If you're only doing cams, you should look at the GMR Performance Genesis 577.

I have the 2012 CVO, and I did the Fueling's.

I dig them.

Man, do they give you a kick when you roll it on around 2700+

You better hold on...

What kind of tuner are you using and do you have a dyno sheet by chance ?

Hell, changing the lifters on my 110" is what led me to changing cams. I consider myself lucky to have made it 31k miles without catastrophic failure caused by lifter deconstruction.

S&S Premium lifters w/o limiters, all day long. Worth the price.

ultraclassic53 - I see you have the Andrews 54 listed; have you looked at the Andrews 57?

I threw in a pair of the Andrews 57H cams in my 2010 110". I'm now at about 100 hp and 122lbs/ft torque, uncorrected at 6000' with a custom tune.

Numbers aside, my engine runs cooler, and the power is great. Without doing heads, you'll loose just a touch of the grunt the SE255s give at very low RPMs, but you'll be very pleased nonetheless.

FWIW, my riding is probably 60/40 1up/2up. Sometimes the bike is fully loaded out, other times, not so much. In the mountain twisties of Colorado, I have more than plenty of power.

Good luck, you've selected some proven components and should be happy any way you choose.

Tuner= Power Commander

Looks like: (approx)
104 HP
116 TQ

Seat-of-pant = 100% awesome

Wish I knew what stock was.. Anyone know?
I did this with only a few hundred miles on the bike, so I never really knew what stock felt like when pushing it.
If I did it over, I would document stock performance better ahead of time.

Here's what I'd go with. This was dynoed on Monday from J&B Performance and this bike is a good friend of mine. It has V&H's PD's and Woods 222 cams. The blue was a dealer tune and 254e cams and the red line is the 222's and a good tune. Bid difference I'd say !
