Are the +.030 right for TW-222 cams? Also what would happen if the stock pushrods were used?

 

IMO,its a oxymoron,there is no such thing as "perfect fit" p/rods,use adjustables (S&S is what we use here)

 

FuelMoto said they will come out next week with perfect fit pushrods. IMO, adjustable ones are "just able to come loose" but thanks anyway. Does anyone have first hand experience with the +.30 and TW-222 cams?

 

For canned-cookie-cutter builds, sure, a fixed pushrod can work, but in the environment of custom engine building that us, as well as Kirby is in, S&S adjustable pushrods are what we reach for here day in/day out.
If you had a Ducati with a desmo-drive, none are needed...........

I'm not trying to have a drag bike. So do you know if the +.030 is a good fit for the tw222 cam?

 

wasn't referring to drag bike stuff.any build will be improved with adjustable p/rods.in 35+ years,we`ve never had one have the adjuster come loose

 

Are we talking power and torque, reliability, or just ease of maintenance?

 

all of the above

 

I use non adjustable push rods. I also use hydraulic lifters, stock. But my build required shorter than stock push rods. I used adjustable ones to get the correct length then had smith Bro's make them. Never have to adjust, they never come loose and they are lighter than adjustables.

 

Not to offend but if you can't get adjustable push rods adjusted and locked down correctly, stay outta the camchest too!!!!!!!!!!!!!
