What about WOOD W6, any have experience?
I'm would like to have huge torque at 2000-3000 rpm
A W6 ain't gonna do it down low. That cam doesn't come in till 2800 rpm and really requires a lot more compression...

Those are impressive numbers I'm sure it's more than just a cam and pipe.. The 27 is not known to be a torque cam...
And as others said, for a heavy 2 up (especially a Trike) the EV 13 would do it.. You might want to consider a rear pulley change as well. How many tooth is it?

I have a ev27 now it is ok on power but the hard coat is coming off the lobes and not a lot of miles on it. May try something different than Andrews. Any one used a fueling 518?

The 518 cam will need more comp than the W6 to drive it. Also, even though their site says it's a bolt in cam with .528 lift on the exhaust valve you really be pushing the coil bind issues on the valve springs... You should consult a machine shop for accurate info on that cam...

It would seem that you already have some experience with aftermarket cams. Here's a site to do more research for your style of riding and bike component combinations: http://nightrider.com/biketech/selectcam.htm
How many miles did you get before your EV27 hardening surface started to wear off? Just curious.
That is like asking what is the best brand and flavor for ice cream..
That would be "Death By Chocolate" Dan... mmmmm...

Sometimes the annealing process failed to harden the cam properly. Other times a cheap lifter roller will do that.. However the most important is oil......

Ive posted the dyno results before. Jets, Ness Big Sucker air cleaner, big radius pipes and the cam are all its got. Thanks for the compliment.
