    I have a 2007 Dyna FXD. It was stage 1 with an FP3 tuner. Recently, I had a Feuling cam chest with a Reaper 543 cam put in and SuperTrapp Supermeg pipes put on. It was tuned on a Dynojet with a Power Vision map. It made 95.48 hp at 5750 rpm and 104.93 torque at 3560 rpm. My freeway mpg is 47. I really like this cam. It's just loafing along at 80. I dont want to back off, even when I have to. The whole rpm range is smooth. I got this cam mainly for touring.

    I have a woods TW-222 and I'm very happy with it. I'm also really glad I saw this video! I mean now I know (and was curious about) getting the Screamin Eagle 103 kit upgrade but thought maybe the cam would need to be replaced but thanks for clarifying it won't.

    I love my Woods 222 in my 96. Tons of torque early on. This thing pulls like a train up hill so if your wife is 300lbs, great choice. It does drop off in hp kinda early so its not a race cam. I use Redline oil, and no valve train noise at all.

    I’ll agree with the Woods 222. Stuck one in my TC103 and it’s a new bike. Btw, no noticeable valve noise over stock.

      Andrew's48H cam is probably in more 96" motors than any other cam. Great bolt in cam.

      @alaskagarage  Před rokem +4

      I was conforming a list with end goal also in mind andrew 48 is another 222 cut cam that I found better figures with other manufacturers. does not by any means mean it is not a good cam just did not make the list when also including cams that would work best with future upgrades.

    Went with SE255 cams. Def not the greatest pick but got em on eBay new old stock for 100 shipped. With a gasket kit and reusing my stock pushrods i got em in for under 200 bucks.. Picked up some good power and dynoed at 83hp and 104tq. Pulls stumps in the low end. Video on my channel

    2011 heritage classic with stock 96” other than air cleaner, de-baffled slip ons and Fp3. Best cam for low to mid range power increase? Was looking at 574 but was told may be to big for my setup, said the tw555 or 543 would be a better choice. Decisions decisions

    I'm running a 2003 heritage softail. 98" s&s 83cc ported heads. JE pistons. Aprox 10:1 comp. Maybe a bit more. Bottom end tried and welded. Came chest upgraded. I was after torque so I put in a Red shift 528 cam. 104tq. 88hp. What other cams would you recommend. I am not looking for big top end numbers. I like torque and roll on power. I have a 6 speed in it now with no issues pulling what so ever. Going back to a 5 speed with 34 tooth front belt pulley. It's an ultima builders kit od6. 4th and 6th are just too noisy. That's my reason.
    There are times I feel the power drops off too quick. Not sure my cam choice is taking advantage of my build. What is your opinion. Thanks. Pipes are V&H big shots long with crossover chamber. Although I like 2 into 1 performance, I want to keep my longshots.

    • @alaskagarage
      @alaskagarage  Před rokem

      Probably a tw-555-6r with your added compression and displacement, along with the ported heads, should be able to breathe nice and take advantage of a usable upper end without falling off early. Aka gaining hp without sacrificing your torque.

      Zero deck your cylinder and mill the head 0.020” and run a 0.028” cometic head gasket. Size up the intake valve and get a good valve job. You have a good cam!

      With the tw-555 you do get some chop the 777 would be more but your down low power will suffer.
