roadglide upgrades
2012 roadglide. 2into1 bassanis, se heavy breather, se race tuner. looking at cam choices. want good tourque from start to top. ride mostly highway and cruise around 125kms hr. like to wake this 103 up. any suggestions on cams? not looking at headwork for a while so would appreciate cam opinions.

All cams are a compromise, you can't have it all unless you have variable valve timing, that's why the new cars can have as much lo w end tq & still achieve the hp #s they have now. If you want a cam that will work well when you decide to port the heads you'll have to give up a little tq down low now or a little hp up high later. With that said my recommendation would be Andrews 54s or 57s, or Woods 555s, possibly with a 4* cam gear to give you a little more tq until you do the heads.

I went with the Cycle Rama 575. Like you the only engine modifications I had was a 2:1 Dragula, SE Heavy Breather A/C, and TTS.

The 255s were made for the EPA, some guys love them, most that have tried something else not so much. The biggest thing is you need to decide what your end goal is. What works best at a stage 2 isn't going to be the best at stage 4. If you can swing it, it's best & cheapest to do the build only once, since a lot of the labor costs overlap. I know that's not possible for everybody, but at least have an end goal in mind when you start.
