Need some advise, I recently installed Woods 222 cams in my 2015 CVO Street Glide.
What a difference it made to my bike I love these cams for my style of riding, I was thinking about getting some head work done and was wondering what would be recommended, what would be the maximum compression allowed for the woods 222 cams. I was also thinking about upgrading to a 58mm throttle body
9.8-10.0 would be the threshold for the 222.
The 58mm has a port diameter that matches your head port opening vs your current t/body(50mm I assume).

10.2 max... That would put you at 200 ccp..... 85 cc heads and a .030 head gasket with .005" piston in the hole will get you there... Without the right pipe a 58 mm tb might be a little over kill... and still probably will be with that Woods 222....
I'm not looking to do anything to the bottom end such as pistons
I already have the Woods 222 cams installed
I don't know what I can do to these heads with these cams ? I've was thinking of changing out valve springs, guides etc maybe even a valve job as well while I have the heads off
