So I bought a SE 113" kit for my 96". Kit comes with mva heads pistons cylinders 58mm throttle throttle body ect, and se 266e cams. Unfortunately I have to tear down the build to check on some things ( long story) and Ive been playing with the idea of going with a smaller cam upon a few reccomendations. So i called woods and they recommended the 408-6 cams. so heres the differences - se-266e cams. 262/266 duration @ .053 / .658 lift. The woods tw408-6 cams. 248 duration @ .053 / .650 lift. My question is does anyone have these cams in a big inch build and what performance is to be expected. Also does anyone agree or disagree with going with a smaller cam?

 

I'd rather have the power in a lower rpm than the 266's are going to give you. It depends on your riding style though. Torque wise, they aren't in full force till after 4 grand. I'm hardly ever at 4k rpm. What are you going to do about your crank?

 

As said above it depends on how you ride & also what CR you're running, if you're running more than 10.5 you can have problems with detonation.

 

just curious why do you wanna know what im doin with the crank ? Also alot of around town rippin. 3500 to 4000 is not uncommon. compression is 10.5 -1

 

I asked about the crank because if you don't beef it up, I don't see it lasting. Maybe I'm wrong...

 

I had darkhorse do it. hd wheels, horse rods, balanced, welded pin

 

wish I wouldve lightened it up though

 

From the way you talk I think I'd just save the money & stay with the 266s, it's not like a 113 doesn't have enough tq.

 

If money wasnt an issue would you still stay with the 266's? also lemme throw another thing out there- should I switch to gear drive ?

 

It's all up to you, it sounds like you ride pretty aggressively so I think the 266s are good for that big a motor & no I don't think gear drive is needed. It sounds like you're pretty well on top of it, other than having to tear it back down to check something, hope everything checks out OK.
