I have t-man 577's in my 2013 Fatbob. I have upped the compression 10.5:1 with SE domed forged Pistons. No headwork. 102.33 hp, 109.85 tq. Comes on strong around 2500 rams. Great Cam. Dyna attached.
Next is the headwork......suggestions anyone? T-Man has suggested the T-man Street Performer 103 for about 115/115, that is with a throttle body.
I will tell you this. The Tman 577 is a very quiet running cam every time, no special anything needed to make that happen.
Here is a dyno sheet, stock block 103
Specifications:
103'', PORTED HEADS 80.2CC, TMAN 577 CAMS, .030''HG, STG. 1 ROUND A/C, FULLSAC HEADPIPE, RECORED CVO MUFFLERS, REKLUSE TQ CLUTCH. STOCK TB AND INJECTORS
With these ported heads is that just a P&P or does that have bigger valves as well?
How much were they decked to achieve that compression. I'm looking into building something close to this! Who did these heads, I need to get mine done this winter.

I ported the heads
They were decked about .040, all new parts but original springs were tested and pressures equalized. 1.9 intake valve, 1.575 exhaust valve. AV&V valves and guides.
I would think those exhaust valves are a little small for a tm 577..
It wasn't to small to make 114 or so square with a solid torque curve. Stock throttle body and injectors, stock 103 block. This is not a high flyer, these results happen consistently.
