I have been looking at the Wood tw-555 cams for my dyna. Take a look at the dyno charts at Fuel Moto. I am going to order this week.

Depends what you want.

You can get something like the Andrews-37, Wood Tw6 that are bolt-in.

Or you can get a slightly beefier cam and get your heads done too.

I did tw6 in my '07. Bumped it to 84hp / 91tq without headwork. Ultimately I'd like to go to approx. 10:1 compression but that'll be a project for this coming winter.

Woods 555 cams, no head-work. Had Speeds hi-flow ac and Cobra dragsters for base run. Great bump in hp and torque.

I also have the TW 555s. I like them alot. Good power and they cooled down the motor alot, with a nice exhaust note. Find out the RPM range you spend most of your time and pick a cam for that area. I was concerned that the 555 would come on alittle late for me, but now that I put them in I love them.

Just bought the Woods cam kit from Fuel Moto for $540 and Woods lifters $220 today for my bike. I am also running a T-Header, Stage 1 A/C and old style Race Tuner. I hope to have them in within the next 2 weeks. I will let you know what I think of them.
