Angry Major complaint with the Woods 555 cams.

After putting 500+ miles on them my biggest complaint is now I dont know what gear I'm in . With the stock cams if I was in 4th above 50 I knew it and if I tried to pass someone on the freeway when I was doing 65 I knew I had to shift down to 5th. And before I got through an intersection I was shifting into 2nd. Now I have to be 2 gears off before I know somethings not right. Boy these cams have long legs!

Huh? Where is your torque curve at max power/torque?

I have no idea. The tune from jamie seems to be awesome. I am still learning to use the powervision though. No ping no decel pop. Runs like a raped ape! I got the PV as we don't have any SERT dyno's around here. As soon as I figure out how to load some logs on the WinPV software i'll know more.

Sixth gear with the 555 cams is like the old fourth gear when rolling on at 65 mph, at least that is how I describe it.
