Hi everyone,
I have spent the last 3 days trying to get a basic understanding of my TC88 and what I could do to enhance the performance slightly.
I have a 01 FXD with 6000 miles, the only mods done to this point are an S&S carb and Cycle Shack pipes. It was dyno tested with SE slip ons(which were on prior to the C S pipes) and the numbers came in at 69 hp and 78.5 ft lbs torque, I was told it might be a little higher now with the pipes.
I do a lot of 2 up riding with my wife and am in the market for a little more power when I am cruising the interstate and want to pass a vehicle.
In the last few days I have received many opinions on the different options out there.
My dealer has a 95/95/95 special for 3149.00 which you can view at:

This is more than I want in power and more than I would spend.
I had some who thought a new cam and the SE ignition system would be right for what I am looking for(with the right cam of course), and leave everything else the same.
And there were many varied options to the cam and ignition set up,
like 95" pistons with head work etc:
My question to you is:
Has anyone here done the cam and ignition upgrade, and is it worth it, and does it keep the motor reliable?
I like this option for cost(what I would not mind spending)/benifit(getting some extra power but not wanting a race bike) reasons.
I appreciate any and all opinions on the subject.
Thanks, Sglide
