SE Torque cam install
#11
I'm not so concerned about performance as much as the sound of the bike nowadays, I don't spend much time in the upper end of the tach. Was hoping that the lower end grunt might make up for some of the lost torque from my zombie baffles. If not, it's not a big deal to me, it will definitely be loud.

People like to bash it, but I have had it for about 2 years now, and it's been great. It got even better after a proper dyno tune with the TTS MasterTune. I've had several engine builders tell me how much they like this cam, but also say this is the only cam HD makes that they will use. It's plenty for me.

The Se Tq cam will likely not have that issue as it has -5 deg overlap. With 4 valves per cylinder most, the motor could need is maybe 5 to 10 deg even for the hotter cams.

I'm no expert, but what worked for me were V&H Torquer 450. I had the Rinehart DBX 4.5 mufflers and torque took a huge, very noticeable dive right off the clutch and any time you hit the throttle with any sense of urgency compared to stock mufflers. I've read others having the same complaint on here over the years, swapped for the Torquers and got all that performance back and gained some. IMO, the Rineharts were rushed to the market to fill a gap in their line up but the V&H were better engineered for the M8's pickiness on intake/exhaust setups.

Getting the SE Torque cam installed next week on my 21 Street Glide standard 107 for $850. Already have the Tab performance 2 into 2 header with the 4.5 bam sticks and zombie baffles installed, Screaming eagle tuner and ventilator intake. Still under warranty for the next 22 months, so I decided why not. I know it's not the best performance cam for the money, but I hear it's definitely an upgrade from the stock cam. Anyone else have this cam, and if so how do you like it?
I think you’ll be happy.
