woods TW 6-6 Cams, 96" Stock Heads Results
Changed the cams in my stage 1 08 Road Glide couple of weeks ago. Had never done any mechanical work this extensive before so it was pretty cool not to be paying someone and to know work was done right.
I did a baseline dyno pull the weekend before at a dealer event. With stage 1, SE/AC and V&H ProPipe, my bike did 71hp/81tq.
Was schaduled for a dyno tune yesterday but circumstances beyond control, the tuner couldn't do the tune. At least was able to put it on the dyno for baseline to make sure the map I had in there wasn't too lean/rich that it would do damage riding it for awhile until I could get a good tune.
So with a map for a complete different build than I have, and only the Woods 6-6 cams w/+4* gear, my bike pulled 86Hp/99Tq.
Pretty nice bump for cams only and definately more to come with tune up. Should easily get a few more hp/tq with a proper map.
The bike is way more fun to ride.
If you want a nice bump with minimal cost, I highly reccomend cams only. Most will probably be thrilled with the 255's which can be had all over the internet slightly used for under $150. Makes some damn cheap power! I chose the woods 6-6 because I am definately going bigger over next winter and because I really never ride my bike much below 3k and wouldn''t have liked the 255's droping of the board before 5k. These do pull right out to 6k.
Do it! Have fun!

The Wood TW6-6 cams work extremely well in a stock 96" motor. We have installed and dyno tuned many of them and generally see upper 80's-mid 90's for HP and upper 90's-105Tq. In the next few weeks we are going to do a TW6-6 install and back to back test with the +4 gear on our 2010 Street Glide. Here is a chart from a 2009 bike with TW6-6 cams, Jackpot 2/1/2 head pipe, Jackpot Dyno Tuned mufflers, Stage 1 air cleaner and PC-V

I'd be more interested in the shape of the OP's curve than the mere numbers he produces. Where the TQ happens is more important to me that the peaks.

Your rationale for picking the 6-6 is solid and I think you made a very good choice.

No sheets to post really. The shop really did this as an accomidation just to check my AFR to make sure I wasn't gonna damage motor with the map I was running The afr #'s were fine. Not ideal, the map is for a complete different build, different cams, different cu/in, different exhaust even a different AC.
The curves looked much like what Jamie posted. Maybe a bit flatter on the TQ(not tuned so no peak?) line buit the HP almost a carbon copy
Iclick, sorry but I've seen enough 255 sheets to know where that cam doesn't work for me. I'll try to choose my words more carefully next time so you don't feel you have to defend it. I know it is a fine cam for most riders.
If you rode like I do, you would understand, I run out to the 5k+ area between most shifts and often cruise in the high 3's to the 4k area I really don't ride under 3k so much of the advantages the 255's offer most riding styles are completely lost on me. also, I am going bigger later and the 255's just arent designed for that.
I hope to get my bike tuned in about 6 weeks and will post up all info and sheets at that time.
