Best cams for the 103
#11
Outstanding HDF Member
I will be curious what you decide on.
[QUIET=Fast Aire;13832125]Heres a few... SE255, Woods 222 & TMan 555
I had the SE255 in my 07 SG/ 103 - it ran well, provided decent TQ at low rpms but it ran out about 4400 or so. Im looking for cams now for my 14 SGS & the Woods 222, 555 & TMan 555 are under consideration. But Im still digging through dyno charts & such.[/QUOTE]

I had the SE 255 and SE 254e in my '12 Road Glide. I liked the SE 254's better because it seemed to be a better all around came, where the 255's came at higher RPM's. These Rushmore cams have the same duration degrees as the 255, but slightly lower lift. Where the 254e cam is a totally different spec.
Here's the HD speak on them:
Provides great low-end torque along with good midrange.
A good all-around cam, the SE-254E is a good match for a light Touring bike - Road King®, Street Glide® or Road Glide® Custom - when the aggressive rider desires a little more top-end horsepower
In a 0-60 sprint or 1/4 mile drag race, the SE-254E-equipped model would pull ahead of an identical model with an SE-255 cam

Dragos 565 , GMR 577, and Kuryakyn 24D are some that probably won't get as many mentions, but worth looking into. There is a Dyno chart section here that you can look at until your heart is content. It sounds like you want something with a nice fat torque curve that comes in early to the left of the chart. Try not to get caught up in peak numbers. Also keep in mind that exhaust choice can play a huge part in the equation.

I did the Se204s. Was told by a couple of tuners and friends that they were the best drop in cam without any head mods. Plus my tuner already had a Dyno tune for them with my exhaust and such that yielded 96hp and 114 tq. From about 2800 to 5800 you can def. tell the difference from stock.

Andrews 57H cams brought my softail 103 to life! I ran a baffle-less exhaust and wanted to make up some low end. The 57H is their "bagger cam" so i knew it would be grunty down low. picked up 10ft-lbs peak on the dyno and 20 hp. Was very satisfied with my choice, and will be getting them again on the SGS after i put some miles on it
