I'm curious to hear oppinions on my upcoming build. I have an 03 Dyna am going with Mathews Stage 2 heads with beehive springs, 95 in bore, 10:1 comp. Wood TW-8G .590 gear drive cams with helical gears on the backside, Fueling oil pump and cam plate and Schubeck axleless lifters.Have been told by Mathews that roller rockers are not necesary. http://www.amtperformance.com/amt/index.aspx

 

That Wood 8 needs 10.75 to be effective, and as long as the heads flow about 155 cfm @ 10", it'll go like a scalded cat!!

I was hoping for a reply from you. Don't want to go over 10:1 beacause of the E-10 gasohol here in Hawaii, so what cam would work best at 10:1? What about roller rockers? Think I'm ok without? Really want to run a Wood cam.

 

T,
The Wood 6 cam is right at home at 10.0 cr, but optimum would be 10.25-3 here.
Some folks will push that to 10.5, but we feel that is a tick too much.
No rollers are needed with that cam.
Scott

 

Thanks for the replies Scott. Would that be the Wood TW6HG at .590? I am going to run gear drive.

 

The Wood TW-6G, .510" lift.
With the 6H, rollers should be used.
Scott

 

Thanks Scott

 

After thinking over that last reply I have to make something clear and ask again to Scott. The .510 lift of the TW6G seems low. I am going to run with Stage 2 heads and have not finalized comp. ratio yet. Can I run higher than 10:1 with E-10 gasohol and go with something like a .590 lft cam? You see the pic of my bike, I ride solo and weigh 210lbs and the bike is 630lb with a full tank. I want to hall *** between 0 and 100.

 

Trex,
Do not let the low-lift numbers have you believe that cam is under powered.
Have you taken a look at the Wood TW-408-48??
Another low-lift powerhouse, but needs a tick more compression.
Scott

 

cam timeing is as important ,if not more than lift.on decent heads,they should flow good from .100 up anyway.we see ALOT of builds overcamed
