Going to take a stab as what you meant to say. How about... What tuning device would you recommend to go with the cams?

There are several on the market that would tune a HD but I use the TTS Tuner pretty much exclusively.

I have been debating on putting a cam in my 107 , seeing your chart I get why Fuel Moto recommend staying away from the 475 cam.

Default 21 trike cvo best cam ?

Ive read alot of the posts but the question is which cam is best. I have a 21 trike cvo 117, ive in stalled the thunderheader slip ons waiting for header, plus just did the stage 1 tune. But im looking for that potato potato sound. Old school. Im told by several dealers that the 21 and up models they do not have the mapping to do a stage 4 kit. And help thanks

FYI.... There are cams that can help you get the sound you require however unless you upgrade that motor you will loose low end torque, something a trike can't live without. I don't want to tell you what to do so just consider this an opinion. Grab a great tuning device, add a low to mid range cam and enjoy spending 50+ grand on three wheels. You do not need to listen to the dealers BS, do it yourself.

5th Gear

I'm new here as a member, but have read a ton of posts in the forum in the past. Now I'm looking for help/advise on gaining more oomph in 6th gear at 70mph. Very satisfied in the lower 4 gears, and even 5th....but 6th needs help and from what I've read here, adding more torque through a cam is an answer. Trike is a '21 with DK 828 air intake, external breather, oil cooler with filter relocation, CAT removed, Reinhart exhaust and ugh.....the Harley street pro tuner. I am in possession of a PV tuner now but haven't put that to use yet (longer story there).
Recap: The beginning of this thread began with a new cam coming out and being tested. Then the revelation of the TT-100 and all the rave reviews and torque results. My question is this......Is this still a relevant cam, or has others now surpassed it for performance? Some have told me the Woods WM8-22XE is THE cam right now. And while the dyno sheets look good, again as said here in the past, it is not tested on a 1250-1300lb Trike driven with an axle and large rear tires eating up power and torque.
Looking for more torque at 3000-4000rpm range. Thanks.

You aren't looking at the wind resistance you are causing at speed with the trike. If you are looking to just boost your horsepower at 3000-4000 RPM area look at the graph above. Does it match what you need ? If not find a cam that might help you in the area you are looking for. But be warned, you might loose the torque on the bottom end to do that.
The TTS100 isn't for the M8 engine anyway. But they do have a cam for the later engines.
Also be aware tuning is the other half of the equation. Also, doesn't hurt the engine to run in 5th gear at those speeds.
