thank you bro's for the kind words. picking it up tomorrow--only supposed to be 24 degrees out but i will take her for a ride. The tuner told me he rode it today and it pulls something wicked--Can't wait!!!

maineultraclassic--yup--sticking with the 8. You knows it has a broader TQ band and keeps pulling when the 6 stops. Numbers are not vastly different....but the 8 did almost the same low end...a bit stronger in the mid range and even stronger up top. Both excellent cams....but gonna stick with the tw8!! plus--noD&Dfatcat dip andthat added compression makes it sound so sweet.

But all in all, I'm sure it's a great running build that will definitely stretch the shoulders out.

steve---i agree. I will tell you that the TQ curve is 130+ from 2000 all the way to 4900rpm and then stays above 125TQ untill 5500rpm. Looking forward to my first ride with the new tw8 cam.

This is NOT a repost--the last 117 build i posted had the tw6 cams installed. This build has higher compression and the tw8 cams installed. Build details are listed in post 1.

steve--i was able to get another sheet--had him put the cursor line at 2000rpm...where it is making 135TQ.....lowest it hits is 130TQ at about 2200rpm....after that it just keeps on climbing....hope this is a better view.
