I have a '09 Deluxe with PCV, SE a/c and TRUE DUAL PIPES and stock compression.....

I like the look of the R&R 525 cam specs as a "bolt in" cam, and I DON"T want to do any headwork or increase compression...

Is this cam a good choice for overall gains? I can';t find any feedback on it as a bolt in!!!!

Thanks for any advice.

 

Not a bad cam.Should give you some tq & hp.Should be pretty good with a stock motor when paired with the right exhaust & tune!!!

 

Hi, thanks for the reply.

Well what is the "right" exhaust? I have stock header pipes with Rush slip-ons. And for the "tune" the bike is getting a custom map on the dyno.

Given the information that I have stated,which of these cams would you run for the broadest overall gains?

1. the R&R 525
2. Woods TW6-6 + 4* adv
3. Andrews 54 + 4* adv

Thanks for your thoughts.

 

The style of your riding is the key to cam choice. If you ride on the city streets, the power curve should be moved as far toward the low side as possible. Many cams are set for the high rpm side and that means when you are running flat out, like on a racetrack, the cam is coming into play. I want the exact opposite - I want it coming on as soon as I crack the throttle. I got a HQ 500 cam in mine, which puts the torque down around 2000 - 4000 rpm where I can access it. HTH

 

Yes, the HQ 500 is a good proven cam. If I was looking for a TQ cam now I would put in the new Andrews 48H...... but thats power shifted too far to the left. I'm after a cam that provides a broad strong midrange that doesn't lose any bottom end power - which with stock compression is proving hard to find!!!

 

I like the woods 408-44 adv 4 deg

 

Hi, can you tell me a bit more about this cam and why you like it??? on paper it looks to be too much cam for a stock compression top end.....

 

It could use a little comp but mine runs good stock with just the cam adv 4 deg

 

Call Bob Woods he will tell you everything you want to know
