Didn't want to hijack the Tman .625 thread.
113" bagger ported heads 2" intake valves. Looking for more down low.
Any thoughts on the W5-6? My other thought is the Tman .625.
either would be set up for 199psi ccc.

 

both will get you the down low results. The woods cam will hit higher torque numbers earlier than the T-man. The T-man will give you higher HP numbers on the topside. Have you considered the woods 8? The 8 cam will give you give you almost as much HP as the T-man but way more torque than the 5-6. You will be much happier with the woods 8 in my opinion.

 

In the 590 lift area, I prefer TMan's TR-590 cam. I've had it in my motor before and it is a very good all around cam. Good low-end and good HP. I will also say the TR590 is one of the most used cams by engine builders, not just TMan.

Also, do you have plans on going bigger on the throttle body? Big valves with bigger TB means more flow/fuel and I'd go with a 625 lift over a 590 lift to allow time for it to breath.

I have the TR-625 and love it. My 103 has never been faster than with this cam and believe me, its pretty fast for a "little" 103.

The W8 does show impressive results, but the noise is not acceptable to me. Have a 51mm TB so pretty good there. Have heard that the 5-6 in the late chain drive is quiet. Hopefully 5-6 owners will chime in. Thanks

 

What's your compression like? I run the T-Man 590G in my 113" Softail (I realize that it's different than your bagger), and I like it. At 10.8:1, it puts down 117/122. I also ran it in my 103" and it made 107/107.

 

Compression should be 10.5 or 10.6:1. Leaning towards the 5-6 if it's quiet, cause will be riding 2 up in the hills/mountains most of the time and can use the tq earlier.

 

"The 8 cam will give you give you almost as much HP as the T-man but way more torque than the 5-6."

You must be speaking peak numbers as the 5-6 closes the intake at 37° and the 8 at 47°.

I was thinking the 5-6 would be better between 2300-4500 rpm.

 

That 5-6 will pile it in, at that rpm.

I ran the 5-6 in a well prepped 98" and it does exactly as advertised, lots of torque in a very useable rpm range and was a fairly quiet cam as far as valve train noise. I have installed a fair number of Wood cams over the years and this is one that I think is often overlooked. In a 113, this cam will really come on early and strong in the range you suggested you were looking for.

 

I agree with the others on the 5-6. THAT is a GREAT bagger cam and most of the time it is quieter than the other woods cams. Comes on a bit earlier than the Andrews 54s, which is another bagger cam that I like.

Give it a try and you may be pleasantly surprised.
