Default 255 cams and MPG

Damn you!! So here i was thinking I was just going with a stage one and a PC-V... but nooooo you all have to talk about cams too. Don't get me started on the stage II or higher.

So, my question is, how will putting the 255 cams in affect fuel mileage?

I plan on going with a the PC-V, Reinhardt slip ons, and the air cleaner from fuel moto.

Who lives near Naples Florida, so when my wife kicks me out I have a place to go.

Not sure why mileage is important to you,,,presume its range on a tank? I didn't notice any difference with my stage 2.

Why would you go to all the trouble of changing cams w/o putting the 103 pistons in? Its only $3-400 more.

I am going to wait until they have to get into the motor before I deal with pistons head gaskets and maybe even have the heads sent off. I feal your pain, my bike has been a money pit but I sure do enjoy it. As far as gas mileage, who cares just ride........

After the cams there will be more. Take my advise and apply for a second mortgage now before you need the money.

They didn't affect mine at all and shouldn't given a proper map. Of course for a while following the installation your mileage will be lower, as you will be testing your new cams. They need to be tested thoroughly for proper operation, of course. A few months should do it.

There's a home for ejected bikers in Orlando. Support groups, too.

Thanks, I'm not too concerned about the MPG, but since I do ride two up and like to tour I was just curious.

Thanks again.
