    Hello

     

    I own a 2015 CVO Street Glide and was thinking about upgrading my cam

     

    Been a 110" motor the only mods I have done are a Replacement K&N Air Filter and a V&H Power Duals with the Monster Rounds exhausts I was thinking about upgrading my cam to a S&S 551 or Woods tw222 cams

    I riding style is between 2000rpm to 3500rpm, if thus helps

    Would I really Benefit from a cam upgrade or would I better off with just a good Dyno Tune with the standard SE 255 cam

    Any advise would be appreciated 

    Cheers Darren

    You have the right cam for that riding range, what state are you from will determine CUSTOM dyno tune recommendations, that's what you need.

    Thanks for your reply

     

    I  suppose there is know real benefit of changing cams considering I love riding in the 2000rpm to 3500rpm range

     

    I live at Landsborough ive tried various Dyno tuners locally  over the years with very little results

     

    I've heard very good things about Procycles Dyno Brisbane Queensland never heard a anything negative about these guys

    I'm always open to suggestions

    Cheers Darren ????????????????

    Even if you don't wind her out much.
    Something like an Andrews 57 for a bolt in.

    Mate I have a 2012 CVO Electra Glide and have put 11.5:1 high comps in and removed the 255 cams and put in 267 cams. If you like going for a quick squirt these are great. However if your not to keen on top end stick with what you have. Mine is a real handfull it punches to 215km/h very quick. It is leathal as far as top speed goes with this cam there just seems to be a never ending limit. At 215 there is still plenty of throttle and it would wind of the clock. As far as dyno's go everyone I know that has had a dyno aren't happy with end result. Most of them have been told the Screamin Eagle tune software is crap but I have had no problems with it. A mate and myself  have tuned our bikes with the super tuner with good success. If you read the imformation on the program I don't believe there is a better program for tuning.

     Morning

    Does Pro Cycles do Head Work such as a Street Port & Polish for the 110" Wet Heads

    I've heard stories about some builders doing the standard CNC Port & Polish  where as

    They have milled through the water jackets of the wet heads by accident

    Yes I have heard that Pro Cycles has a fantastic reputation with there Dyno Tunes
