Default TW37B review

Well I ride a 1999 Lowrider that looks like a Fat Bob and I had a lifter seize on me at only 38,000 miles. it damaged my SE 203 cams and they don't seem to make them any more. But I found a good deal on TW37B's so grabbed them and some Johnson Hy lift lifters. Research indicated that bumping the compression is a good idea with these cams so I grabbed some cometic 30 thou head gaskets to give it a bit of a boost.
Took a few days for it all to arrive New Zealand and today I pulled my motor apart and did the upgrade and threw on some cyco tensioner pads because I wanted to try out the tool I bought that allows you to change just the pads.
Holy Cow! What a difference! It has plenty of low down torque but over 2000 revs it starts to really pull and the faster it revs the harder it pulls!
Cruising at 80mph the throttle is barely open and I got ground rush going into the first few corners because I wasn't expecting to be going that fast.
Love the new set up, just wanna keep riding now!

Fine choice on the TW37's .. I went with TW 21's when did the SE Hydraulic Cam Tensioner Upgrade including the Fueling Oil Pump and Got a Mild Gain in Torque in the Low to Mid Range which was just what I was Looking For and Adding the Pro Pipe 2:1 made it Slightly Better .. Enjoy Your Ride ..
