Default 96 Cam debate

I have a 2010 flhx that needs to be woke up. With all the cam choices I am at a loss. The bike will be driven long distance and will be working in the 1800-4000 rpm range. I am torn with the hq-500,andrews 26,se 204,woods 6-6.The bike is gettin a stage 1 air cleaner,tts, and a d and d 2 into 1 with the quiet baffle. I am not looking to do any other upgrades. I would like to see around 20/20 hp/tq increase. I dont want any lifter noise either. Any input would help.

Headwork and hq525's will give you all the power you are looking for.

For that rpm range, don't overlook the SE-255 cams. Do a search and read iclicks write up and look at dyno sheets with these cams. You can get them cheap too.

+1 1800-4000 RPM.... 255s are probably the best way to go.

SE-204 gets my vote. It's a great little cam that surprised me!

Whatever you choose a cam is a great upgrade. Everyone has bias toward the cam that they bought. I am no different.

I chose the SE211 cams...I am very happy with the results!! Sure, a bump in compression will unleash all potential of these cams, but... with the performance I have without doing the 103BB kit, I can't be more pleased... By the way... I ride interstate to and from work, 58 miles round trip, I'm getting 240 miles per tank (5.2 gallon top off) every time.. No lifter noise either.... Good luck!!

I just installed redshift 575's with my 103" build and find them a little later coming on at about 3000 right until the needle is buried!! I may look at a different cam for the lower end next winter, that is if I can hang onto my tags this summer! Whatever you choose you'll be impressed with, makes twisting the wrist soooo much fun!
