(Another) Cam Question!

[Strohkr]

Well - Since I actually got a decent deal I decided to get a 2013 Tri-Glide over triking my SERK. Hope I don't regret it. I'm not going to make too many mods to start with but I do plan on openng up the exhaust and (possibly) adding a cam
My tentative plan: Jackpot head pipes & 2 into 1 into 2 exhaust, SE Breather, SE Super Tuner and a cam change. That's where I'm having the problem trying to figure out which cam to use. I've searched and searched the Forum and it seems like the SE255 is the one that is most popular.
So I've kinda narrowed it down to the following four:
SE255 or SE254
S&S 551 or 557
I'm not going to pull a trailer and I ride one-up most of the time.
I know everyone has their favorite cam and I don't want to start a loooong technical cam tread - but I'd like to know what the majority of you would use and in a short sentence or two - why!
Thanks all - as always your input is MUCH appreciated!!!

My buddy John has this new cam he had ground that would a good fit for stock compression in a 103" trike

Quote from John @ Torqueinc >>

" This cam is one of my grinds

Cam Specs .510 lift 235/231@.053 107 lsa

Designed as a bolt in with pipes and AC for the 103/Bagger/trike for those that want a touch more but do not want to change even pushrods. I wanted a broad flat torque curve and a quiet cam "

If your interested in his cam you can contact him. Tell him Tom said to call

I had the 259E cam installed,along with the 10.5:1 forged pistons, SE 100+ ported & polished heads, and it runs like a scared rabbit. Plus I get good gas milage.

I have the woods 555 cams from Jamie at Fuelmoto. Along with all the other mods below. It runs great!
