really debating on a cam swap at the 1000 mile service, but of course the dealer warranty had me leaning toward a SE cam...just dont see any drop ins making more torque. 1 is close, and of couse HP is higher...but this bike runs pretty good as is.
Wanting to keep the warranty is definitely understandable, and the SG I rode with the Stage 2 SE torque cam was very, very fun. It's the bike that made me realize no matter what, I was going to cam my next M8 bike!
However, if you look at Fuel Moto's latest cam test in the M8 sections ( https://www.hdforums.com/forum/milwa...o-114-a-3.html ), and their previous dyno tests of the SE cams here ( https://university.fuelmotousa.com/a...-dyno-testing/ ), that cams like the CycleRama CR480 not only make 10 more ft lbs of torque, but make an extra 16 HP as well. Other cams may make similar torque but generally they seem to either hit harder earlier, or hold it much longer.
I made the decision to scrap the warranty at 900 miles and started gathering parts for my cam install. My bike goes in at the end of the month for the 22XD cam.
took it out a spin with the tune and new exhaust... I know, 2 into 1 would make more power. not a concern here, i purely wanted a look, and so far these bassani pro streets are doing.
found a cool old service station in town, and need to get a better camera and get some good pics.
so far, the bike has
all CIRO LED signals, black with the visor
Bassani Prostreet 2 into 2
Stage 1 tune
Swing arm bag
and 750 miles now,,,

if you are going for a cam with those pipes and care about your warranty, you should wait. Just my opinion.
The S&S 475c sounds freaking amazing with those pipes.

Pretty much all of the cams make more than the SE torque Cam's Torque.
SE torque cam in the Touring bikes makes 119.7TQ
Zippers RS468 makes 127TQ
I've seen the CR480 make 128.29TQ
I have the SE Cam, and I'm debating about swapping it with an RS 468 or a Woods 22XE cam right now. MAYBE a CR 480.
SE Torque Cam does have some umph.
Zero to 60 in less than 4 seconds on my bike with an ok tune, but I want more.
I wanna slap some cars and chase my sport bike friends on the freeway.
The one big advantage of the SE Torque Cam is that it's gentle on your springs and drive train.
I'd like to get a full on Dynotune if someone would dynotune it for cheap. But I dont wanna spend 450$+ on a dyno on a cam that would be slapped by a RS468, 22XE or CR480.
I'm looking for the best acceleration possible with my exhaust, an all out attack cam that gives me everything before 5700RPM.
Here's some untrained pulls with the SE8-447
I want to get it on a dyno with a good tune...
with HD claiming 125 tq on their site it makes cam selections hard.
I see aftermarket ones making more in both areas, but as far as SE cams go...they are in larger cam range
I don't mind the power it has, but would like a more noticeable lope. The SE stage 2 tune sounds night and day different on it, even runs way better...but has excessive decel popping...or it did with the zombie slip ons. I have not tried that tune with these
