Whether or not some low end is lost with TDs is a hotly debated subject but dyno sheets show some softness on the low end when a 2:1 system is replaced with a set of TDs. Rineharts are the only TDs I would run; the head pipes are stepped thrice as compared to others that are stepped twice. JMHO.

If choosing between the TMan and 204, as much as I like the 204, I think I would go with the TMan cams. Good luck!
Yep the T-man 555 Torqster cams sure look like a good option, along with the Andrews 26's Scott has suggested. I'm also considering the Woods TW5-6... man the more reading I do the more confused I get!!!

Hi petewerner, those are some very respectable numbers you have there with the SE255s.... Is your build a factory 103" at 9.6 compression? or a 103" big bore?

That's what I thought. Like more than 10.5-1 from what I have read and the guys I have spoken to with them. But well worth the effort

Yes I agree they need more compression to work "optimally" but Fuel Moto has done some extansive dyno testing of this cam in stock 103" factory motors at stock compression and have produced some amazing numbers!! Just check their website for the dyno charts.

If I didn't have the Rinehart True Duals I would definitely go with the Woods 555, its only my choice of pipe that has made me 2nd guess these cams.
