Here's my take: The cams and Hillside's headwork are going to make a NIGHT AND DAY difference in your scoot....Enough to have you grinning from ear to ear and muttering in amazement to yourself as you go through the gears for the first time. You will not be sorry. I, like most, are assuming that you will have your build dynotuned by a good tuner. The tuning PRODUCT you use is not as important as the tuning HUMAN that you use. If you traded your "inferior" trueduals for a good 2-1 pipe you would see a couple more pounds down below 3500, probably, but in turn with your duals you should see a couple more ponies up high. Whoop.
Getting rid of the anemic EPA 255's was the single best mod I have done to my bike. In my opinion, the SE 255 cams are the most over-hyped, weird offering the MOCO has put in the SE catalog. Ever. These cams combined with the now-generation of Rich Urban "Biker" have been the greatest contributor to the crank-scissoring phenomonen of 2007+...These motors are begging not to be lugged at 2000 rpm, and if these Twincams had legs and feet, they would give these riders a good swift kick in the ********* whenever they grab a handful of throttle in 6th gear.
Enjoy your build, enjoy your cams, enjoy your duals.....save all your buddies a stool at the bar; they won't be TOO far behind.

Let's fight it out with a DYNO sheet after the build. Let the facts talk and we can move on. There are so many performance options out there it can make your head spin. My brother just installed a bolt on Procharger on his '09 S.E. glide, 142H.P. no other crap added." He who dies with the most toy's wins!"

All,
Here's my current set-up:
'09 Ultra Classic
HD 103" stage 2 w/ 255 cams
PCV w/ Autotune
SuperTrapp true duals w/ SuperTrapp slip-ons.
HD Heavy breather
This weekend I pulled the heads and am sending them off to Scott at Hillside Cycle for their stage III port job. I have a set of Wood's TW-7H cams on the way along with some S&S adjustable pushrods.
While I have this thing torn apart is there anything else I need to swap out? Let me know what you think and I'll keep you posted on my build. Tried to post pics but not sure if it worked.
Happy New Year,
B1

I love the 255's in otherwise stock bikes. Great bang for the buck. But as since you're doing the head work, you might as well try to move both hp and torque curves up a bit.
Lots of opinions out there, mine's no better than anyone else's.

Wow! I can't believe how upset everyone got on this post. Hell, there are posts everyday suggesting stupid things and outright wrong recommendations. This exhaust thing is a good one. Get this, "a 2 into one exhaust isn't always the best." Heresy you say, you all read everyday that a Fat Cat is the only way to go. Usually a 2 into 1 is best for low end and mid range. Going drag racing dual straights will get that top end. Beyond that, a lot of guys don't like the asthetics of a 2 ito 1. The exhaust really only moves the peak power around to different r.p.m.s. and no exhaust will make a difference even close to good heads and cams with a mediocre exhaust. I won't dignify the comparison of 255 cams to well modded heads and decent cams. Remember what "Tater Salad" said about arguing with stupid people. To paraphrase it was something like: You ain't gonna win and they have way more experience. Well back to "internet wrenching."
