Default Which Cam?

I am taking my cylinders and heads in later this week. Taking the cyls to 98" and thinking of just doing a competition head job for now. I have both woods 6 and andrews 37, but I cant decide which way to go? I have to decide now so I can have the heads set up for the cam I go with. Can someone who has experience with both direct me in the right direction. Looking for more power, 2 of my riding buddies have 96" with cams and another has a 110" and I am looking for some more power to either keep up or beat.

It won't matter. The intake valve close events are only 2* apart; the 6 cam closes at 40* and the 37 cam closes at 38*.

Give Bob a call at Wood Performance (205-525-1017). He'll be able to tell you which way to go based upon what you want out of your motor. He'll ask you questions and based upon what you tell him will recommend what to do. Give him a call. He's very helpful and loves what he does.

A Wood 6 in that 98"er with a good set of heads will push out 110/110 plus, set up/tuned correctly.

Will a power commander get me there or should I just order the TTS?

From the multitude of that exact combination we have built over the years, TTS, PC, SERT, or Direct Link seems to be absolutely fine.
