whats the best Cams
#21
so which has the most low end grunt the se 211 or the se 255? according to the hd web site the 255 has more low end grunt but everytime i talk to the local shop they say the 211"s have more. i ride 2 up most of the time i have rush 2" slip-ons super tuner and se breather im looking for the low end grunt. HELP!!
the intake closes way too late on either of those cams to make really strong low end torque, again, in a STOCK motor.
if you are partial to screamin chicken stuff... a 203 would be a better choice for low end power.

The SE stuff doesn't compare to what available on the aftermarket. As mentioned, ANdrews 21's, 26's HQ 0034, Wood TW6-6 with +4 gear all will work great. Some better that others. I had 204's and they aren't bad. I actually likes them better than 203's in my FLHT. IMO Woods is the way to go. Just costs more money. You can grow into the Wood setup in the future with bigger/ hotter setups and still use the Wood 6's.

I agree with the riding style comments, I personaly ride a geezer bike and just wanted more torque at the lower end. You can see below what they did to my bike and I am really satisfied with the results. I did not install a sert because of the warrenty issues that comes with it, maybe one of these days I will install one but like I said I am a happy camper with the way the bike performs now..................

My sheet on my 07 stg 1 / 26h's / Rush 2". You can see that the cams put out more tq across the board from 2000-5200 rpm's than the maximum stock TQ
the second thumbnail is the comparison of stock to above sheets.
I had to draw the one in because they were done at different shops

here in Indy our dealer is using a lot of 204 of course, but also intalls them with the 4* advance, to move the curve to the left more. My son has put that set up in his 07 & 09 bikes and has been 100% happy with it..

the above quote says to use the 204 withthe 4+degree key, and there are other references to the Woods 6, using the 4+degree key in a stock engine. If you are not going to do a big modification in the future, go with the 203 as the 204 is really designed to work with a compression increase to about 10.0:1, same withthe Woods 6 and the Andrews 26, all like and perform better with a bump in the compression. The Andrews 21 is very nice in a stock engine as is the HeadQuarters 0034/HQ 500 for newer bikes.(my choice if installing a cam in a stock engine). 211's move the torque higher in the rpm range, as does most other cams.
For a stock engine, with no other mods, HQ 0034, Andrews 21 or HD203 will produce the best results without having to monkey with a degree key or other modifications.
