RE: anyone done a performance cam change?
No, the cams don't come with gaskets and such. You'll need to pick those up. Give Bob a call or if Cateye can get 'em for ya...hit him up. The TW6's pull strong right off the bottom on up to about 5 grand. They're just really good torque cams. I went back with adjustable pushrods also. I'm using a thundermax in my bike, so I can remap whenever I make mods or the autotune can make adjustments itself. I know CatEye carries these also. They're great folks and will help ya out.

What about the headquarters cams? I was looking at the site they have, and have a set at $280.. and the dyno results looked pretty good. How much have you guys paid for your TW6 cams?

RE: anyone done a performance cam change?
well if i looked at the bob woods sight correct ..the tw-6 cams where $365.. that wouldnt be that bad if the gains are going to be there like they say..also that wouldnt be bad if im able to do the job..i havnt checked on a price to have them installed..plus i will need to call jamie and see if they can get me a map...im also wondering if the stock ecm would still be right with the new cam change , i mean the timing on the bike..

Not to knock a T6 ...but check out Andrews 54H made specifically for the 07/08 Dynas.
$225.00 at cateyecustoms
Check out the cam comparator at www.bigboyzcycles.com it is great for comparing lift/duration etc.

Don't expect a whole lot from just a cam change, you might want to look into getting your heads done at the same time and ask the guys at bigboyz about what you want to do.

Stock ECM? Can work with a PC3 or T-max,SERT, but not solo.

Heads and cams done together, as a planned pair + the right AFR= one fast ***** of a hog.

RE: anyone done a performance cam change?
I swapped out my chain cams this past winter for Andrews gear driven cams... 26g . Also added the Crane HI4TC ignition. Awesome torque from 2k-5k. Ride a lot 2 up and it pulls great when I roll on now. Find myself downshifting a lot less, but when I do and hammer it on, she FLYS! Since then Ive hit as high as 50.2 mpg!!

Ebay from Eastern Performance I believe and no I couldnt do them my self. I didnt have the press for bearings, and a couple of other toold. But my Indy did them for me for $300 including installing the ignition.
