Apparently the new TTS175 has a nice lumpy idle.

Peace.

I think when you refer to it being a left side cam you are talking about low rpm? I don't see the 468 performing better than the 22x at any part of the curve on Fuel Motos Softail M8 114 test? It actually looks like the 22x has the advantage slightly in the lower rpms from their chart.

I would like to see the chart for a CR-482 in a 114 as well. I am leaning towards the CR-480 at the moment.

No EPA is one thing H-D’s warranty while inspired & related to the iron fist of government is still yet another. The dealership can (verbal) warranty it’s labor but not other dealerships that they don’t own. And certainly not H-D’s money unless they are willing to lie to H-D. I suspect the dealership or rather one of its individuals would overstate what it might do for the consumer than the dealership lie in writing to H-D which most likely it would have to do.

Put any cam in it you want and use any tune you want just do it eyes wide open. Best

Aggressive lope goes hand in hand with a HP cam that will come alive at higher RPM and make your bike rip.
A low mid RPM cam will not lope as much.
I personally wouldn't put a torque cam in a light bike.
I just installed an S&S 475c in my 107 Low Rider. It lopes really nicely and rips when you hold the throttle open.

S&S475 has the most aggressive lope, so far.
It has a very hot rod like lope.

I would like to see more testing on Softails with the exhaust systems WE are using, not the ones all done on the touring bikes. A 900# bike has different cam needs.

Me too. The only chart I have seen with my same pipe (S&S Superstreet) and a CR-480 in a 114 is FLS103's FXFBS chart on here and Sheffer's facebook page.

The pipe performs well with the CR480 so I'm thinking it will play well with other cams as well. I would like to see more testing done as well to confirm that.

I'm just happy someone took the time to compare the different cams in a controlled way rather than trying to compare one guys dyno sheet in Florida vs another guy in California.
