Default Anyone using the SE 254 Cam?

I've got as much out as I can with the 96 in my Nightrain. It has a Tmax autotune, Thunderheader and the SE heavy breather. It just dyno'd at 78.52 hp and 95.26 ft lbs of torque. I did a custom map for the tmax and it worked great. Now I'm thinking about cams.

I don't want to go with a 103 right now I only have 3000 miles on the motor. (I bought it late last year and have to work a lot ) The shop is recommending the 254e cam so I was wondering if anyone has used it and what was the results. The mechanic said they but them in a Roadglide and it got 107 ft lbs of torque. Anyone have any experience with this cam.

I know there are other cams but I want info on this one.

No experience here, but just when comparing the specs to others out there I'd say the 43* intake close would be a bit late for my liking in a stock compression bike. The 107 ft-lbs they mention might be accurate, but where in the rpm band did it come on? If you ride in the mid-upper rpm range a lot, they might be fine since the power would probably not come on until 3k or so. Our riding styles may very well be different, but I would want something more like the SE204 in a stock compression bike. FWIW. Good luck.

Thanks for the advice. I was leaning toward the 204 myself as I have read great things about them.

I would say.............

TMAN 525 or a Woods 6
I would lean towards the Tman cam. My 2 cents, and I sell both. I like the Tman better.
