The Japanese OEM's starting using catalyst exhaust systems already in the late 90's

 

I had the SE 255's, Rinehart TD's, SE A\C & PC-V w\AT (FM base map) in my 07 when it was a 96". I LOVED this combo! But I just had to shoot for that 100HP mark (103" Andrews 54's, Big Boyz heads) and found I liked the 96"\255 combo MUCH better! Tons of TQ from off idle to 4,500 rpm or so, right where I do most of my riding. I still have those 255's with only 3-3,500 miles on them but, if these 222's will give me that great low end TQ and about 10HP more than the average Stage 1, SE 255 combo, the 222's will be going in when the time comes!

 

Yeah, would like to have the 222 cam as well.

Wonder if the B heads by FM would work with this cam, or not so much?

 

That would be interesting to know if the B heads can be set up to work with the TW-222 cam. I wouldn't be so much interest in increasing the overall peak HP but continuing to fatten up the torque curve would be of interest. The B heads usually help the torque curve as well, from what I can see.

FM may have to call this the "arm stretcher" combination because it looks like it may yank your arms off when you twist the throttle with all that torque down low.

 

Does anyone know how the TW-222 compares to the SE255 cam in a 103?

Sounds like they both make torque in lower RPM, but I don't know enough to look at the cam specs and know how close they might perform. Would it be worth switching out SE-255 for the TW-222?

 

i would say if you like to occasionally rev your bike past 3000rpm it would be worth it.

 

you need adjustable push rods per FM

 

So are the TW 222 cams available yet?

 

I just installed the tw-222 in my 12 street glide last night, I haven't rode the bike yet but I'm going on a nice and long ride tomorrow. I can say this they have a sweet exhaust note @idle

 

Yes they are available, and I will soon answer my own thread. I ordered the TW-222 kit last week. It arrived Thursday, and I will have them installed by Wed.

I have never had my bike dynoed, so I can't tell you how much HP it has now or how much more it will have. Everything will be a seat of the pants evaluation. My current setup is the FM Jackpot Mufflers, FM 2-1-2 Headers, FM SE Intake, and Power Vision. I watch the power vision pretty closely when I ride and can tell you that the bike most of its power in the 4500 rpm range right now. My hope is that this cam puts the power much lower in the rpm range. I'll post a review next week.
