Seems to me that the use of the CAM Thing is similar to the Ride Style Thing..
There will always be Different Strokes for Different Folks...
I chose the SE255's for the easiest build on my 96"/ to 103" motor and IF i went no further, I would be content with wait I have even at 96".
Going 103" later Is For the Simple Fact... I'll want to FRESHEN the upper end and when I put on enough miles and-or Want to go thru the upper end, it will be a good build to follow..
Granted that there are a lot of Cams that will Do more,Give, Make,Develop But I chose the se255's For MY Ride style... and MAY install a different set later.... Lots of choices but I'm fine with the se255 for now..
I have built a few Great Power Bike Motors in my time but Swore NOT to do this to the FLHR... Liking the Lower torque and Happy with the ride so far.(.)
BUT please Beware:::: BIGGER is NOT always BETTER (.)
If your riding a heavy bike and want to keep the RPM at a lower level and have LOW END torque/power, You don't want a cam the comes on in the higher RPM range.. I've Been thar'
Sure, I could of gone with More Cam,, Then More Compression,, Then flowed the Heads(which I may still do) Bigger Bore. but higher RPM is not what i wanted.. I chose and like and May Change out some day again but Not to the Big High RPM style Cams to develop torque and power...
Just My Way
