Didn't think you did deck them. Just thought of it since you pulled the heads. Doesn't the engine typically lose a little compression with an aftermarket cam, especially with one that has a larger valve overlap. That's where I'm going with this, without too much to cause detonation on pump gas.
Yes it does lose some and yes you could get it back with different head gaskets. You can also mess with other settings in the tune file to help combat some of those things too.

Fixed a customer’s poor tune from 2 years ago that someone else did. 114”, diesel air cleaner, power duals headpipe and KW mufflers with their louvered baffles. Picked up 7hp and 4tq and the bike is a lot more healthy.

2021 RGS 131”, stock heads with high lift springs, Reaper 521, 55mm TB and manifold, Ness AC, S&S short competition 2-1

Just finished this one up. Was a 114” with a 475 cam, same air cleaner and a long S&S 2-1. Gained 16hp and 24tq from what he had.

Customer’s 2015 CVO Street Glide 110”. They had a Woods TW7H cam set installed somewhere else, I just tuned it.
Pretty happy with the results. Customer should be too.

Red is Harley torque cam, Trask AC, Jackpot 2-1-2 headpipe and TAB mufflers with quiet baffles and SE street tuner

Blue is Trask AC, Andrews 485, KW outlaw 2-2 headpipe and TAB mufflers with louvered baffles and dyno tune.

Final look with AFRs

Damn, that’s nice……. So I take it deleting the VVT operation is the key to more performance with the new motor…..?
Not necessarily but deleting it was needed for the aftermarket cam. The impact ECM was more of the key than deleting the VVT
 
I have a S&S 128 with 1st gen SE CNC heads with S&S540 cam. I like the cam, but want torque to peak a little higher. Really like the Andrews 554, but my springs are limited to .540 lift. Have you ever Dyno'd a Tman 2652 cam? Almost identical specs as 554, except lift in the .520's. Wondering if it performs similar to the 554, as most people describe it as a low-mid cam, but the 554 seems to keep pulling up top.

I have not used any TMan cams but have used their products before and haven’t ever been disappointed. I don’t see why your CNC head springs wouldn’t handle the Andrews 554 cam lift. I put SE high lift springs in my stock heads on my 117” and an Andrews 554 and haven’t had any issues or binding.

I think the springs you mentioned are the ones in the newer extreme ported CNC heads and are rated for around .550 lift. My heads are the first gen CNC heads and those springs are only good to .540.

The 2652 / 554 cam specs are almost identical, except lift of .520. I would think they would perform very similar.

I have also been considering the TTS250 and C515.

Looks like a good cam. I’d bet it would perform well man.

Where’s that chart from? I like to be able to compare some cams that way. I’m going to run the 515 in my 128
