Default Cam Question?

I have been reading articles in this forum for quite a while as a guest and finally decided to join. Have ridden for years and finally purchased a new Harley 2009 FLHRC a few months ago - phenomenal!

My question - have been looking to add power across the entire powerband. I ride average and am what I would consider easy on the bike. One HD dealer recommended the 103 SE Stage II Kit with 255 Cam (minus pipes, air and tuner - already installed. Went to another HD dealer today that was passionate about getting more for my dollar and going with the Head-Quarters HQ-TC-500-HC Hurricane cam and push rods.

Looking for some help with this power issue. Has anyone used any Head-Quarter cams? Only concern reliability as this on paper voids the rest of my two year HD warranty.

Appreaciate any help.

Thank you all for your advice and web suggestions. Rick, good idea, I am going to throw this in into the Tech area and see what comes back. Safe travels and yes, the Road King is a phenomenal ride!

Congrats on the scoot. Welcome to the Forum, from South Central Texas. I'll be doing the cam research soon myself. One of our members said in a post, something to the effect of .... plan ahead, what type of mods you want. Be sure to use parts the compliment one another.
