From what I've seen, the 255 cams are about the same, maybe more on top.
To do it over, I might go with the SE204 cams.
Look at the "dyno numbers for baggers" sticky for the 204 cams.
The 204's seem to have good bottom end and keep going past midrange.
Maybe check out the Andrews 48 cams too.

Most HD techs in this area are telling me that it does not come with 255 cams but probably something much milder. I am doing a stage one with A/C and either Rinehart or Vance and Hines slip ons. I will add true duals later. I am leaning toward installing the 2555 cam. I do most of my riding between 2500 and 4000 rpm. So I don't need cams that come on at 5000 rpm. I won't be drag racing, but I like a kick in the range that I described. Will the 255 make me happy or should I look at something else. I should point out that I know there are better aftermarket cams such as woods, andrews, headquarters etc. I want to stay with HD cams because of warranty issues. SO what should I look at in HD cams???? all insight is appreciated.
