^^^ You sir, are correct

I just spoke with they guys at Fuel Moto when I dropped of the bike today, sounds like my setup (Wood 22XD, Sawicki exhaust, OEM ventilator, PV3) will almost assuredly NOT need the bigger injectors to reach its potential.

If for some reason my bike is super duper special and can make more power than the OEM injectors can handle, they'll know on the dyno and I'll make the switch then

 

Thanks for the update.
It looks like I'll save the 160$ then.

I was wondering, why 22XD over 22XE?
I've been deciding between cams and I think the 22XE would be best for how aggressive I ride and how I'll very often use both roll on, and drop a gear and disappear acceleration.
Can I pick your thoughts about the 22XD?

 

What did I do to my 18+ Softail today? Walked by it in the garage. That count?

 

It sounded like the Wood 777 cam was the one that likely needed the bigger injectors from their M8 test

I started researching/watching videos about cams about 2 years ago when I had my RGS. I was always happy with the low end power and wanted some more top end punch. I basically narrowed my cam choices down to the 22XD, 22XE based on what I read, the videos I watched, and my discussions with the guys at FM. I know I would be happy with either. I don't drag race, I really just rip around by myself.

The deciding factor came down to the fact that I love the aggressive idle of the XD over the XE. IMO, the XD makes it sound my more like my '79 Low Rider, so that gave it the slightest edge over the XE.

 

Well hey there old friend, long time no see.

For me I'm leaning towards the 22XE cam because it hits that 100+Torque before all the other cams and peaks early fast, and holds that torque STRONG the entire way and then it also peaks 120hp before all the other cams in their test. 120hp at 5660RPM. Which is right before that 5700RPM that I've set my bike to limit too.
I'm not interested in running much farther out past 5500 because it accelerates engine wear. And the 22XE gives all it's got without making me rev out to 6000+.
So it's ideal for that longer lifespan I'm looking to get out of the engine.
It seems like the best cam for an aggressive rider.

 

I think objectively the XE is the "better" cam for 99% of people, probably myself included honestly. I just can't pass up that aggressive idle that I miss so much with the M8 bikes. Plus, I'm hoping it gives me a bit of the top end kick that I loved on my old V (L) twin Ducatis.. A boy can dream

 

This combo will be a strong runner however we'll be within the limitations of the stock injectors (and if we're not I'll swap them). We're utilizing the stock throttle body and the bike is equipped with a Sawicki 2/1 shorty pipe which is pretty unique in the fact it uses a smaller 2.25" collector but a large 2.5" perforated baffle, I expect this should have a very strong mid range kick with very good overall horsepower, and while it may not be the strongest in very low RPM this combo is going to have some seriously awesome sound and very aggressive idle. I'll be sure to get some video of this one and will post the final dyno chart as well.

 

Finally got around to putting the S&S slash cuts on :

 

Hey... Had the 5 gallon tank from a 2022 Low Rider ST installed on my 2018 Breakout! Bolts right on! Must-use ST fuel pump assembly. $1,800.00 installed. 1.5 hours of work. Came painted!

 

did it not have a 5 gal before...or did you just want the tank badging ?

i thought they used the same tank already.
