I know i have asked this question before but just looking for some new blood opinions, having a really hard time deciding on wood 222 or wood 555 i have talked to fuel moto and they still have me on the fence, i am worried i will not have the get up and go with the 555 taking off 2up, on the other hand i got 6 gears for the 222 and keep my rpms in the lower range, just dont want to make a mistake, i have 103 street glide v and h propipe, se high flow ac and power vision and i like fuel moto and wood products, can someone steer me in the right direction? Or someone with similar stock set up opinion, i do not plan on doing any other engine mods, cant afford to do any more, and the old lady would kill me. Thanks guys

 

I haven't installed my stuff yet, but the decision was easy for me, at least. I won't stand for any gaps down low. If my bike doesn't pull hard above 5k RPM, whippy skippy... How often are you up there? Me? Never. As far as the FM/Woods products go, the TW-222. My decision involved cams from other manufacturers; that for me was more of a process. I got the 222s, Woods lifters, FM adj pushrods, Zippers dual piston cam chain tensioners and the Axtell oil bypass valve.

 

I've been very happy with the 222. On my decision list I had no intentions of doing top end work or bumping the compression to optimize for cams that might need that. There is plenty of grunt in the upper rpms.

 

Believe it or not, there's a lot of other cams that are just as good or better than the "Woods". FWIW.
I know for some that may be hard to get your mind around that.

 

The 555 won't disappoint you two up. I just installed 2 weeks ago and put a couple hundred miles on mostly two up. It doesn't lose anything vs stock at low revs. In fact I think it gets going better than stock to 2500 and then rips from there on. The 222's may leave you wanting more top end but if you don't care about that....

 

is yours a stock 103? no motor mods with those 555s?

 

Agreed, lot's of good ones out there. One just needs to look at the big picture of their build, what they are going for, and what they want to spend.

Equally important to cam selection, in addition to matching it to your build, is a good tune afterwards. If you're using someone else for your build/tune, then you're best leveraging their experience with specific cams. If you're doing it yourself, including tuning (Powervision here), then you have more flexibility. A great cam with a poor tune is just going to suck anyway you look at it.

 

I have full Sac x pipe, AC, slip ons, Thundermax and wood 555s pretty happy with how it turned out. I wanted more mid range power, most of my riding is done around 3k that's where I wanted my power. The 555s still have me more power I the lower RPMs but they really kick in around 2800 for me. I really like having the passing power 2 up on the highway.

 

gonna have fuel moto install the cams and do the tune, whichever cam i do

 

do they still pull good up to 6k rpm or do they run outa steam around 4500 like some guys say?
