I have the factory manual but was looking for real world results with compression release disabled so i could give accurate results with and without the cam.

Steve Cole has test CCP on the M8s and stock they are about 220 PSI.. IIRC.. The twin cooled Rushmore bikes are about the same.. A 103 with 255 cam will break 200 lbs easy..

The Stock 107 M8 has shown as high as 240 PSI. It all depends on how you set the test up. This is why they put a higher torque starter in the M8 too. With the dual plug, 4 valve head its a whole new world for the HD engine that's for sure.

Really good pressure for a stock motor. They're leaning heavily on spark control at that point.

Thank you for reaching out to us, we received your email and information today and I have made some revisions to your tune and emailed you a new map, as well as some additional info. Your combo with the wm8-222 cam should pull smooh & strong right from the bottom. Please give the revised map a try and if you need further assistance you are welcome to contact us and we are here to help, all channels are open.

Just to update what Jamie had said; true to his word, in less than a day, they were able to update my map to get it running much smoother. Now it performs exactly as it should. I had scheduled a dyno tune for Thursday, just in case. I plan to keep my appointment just to get everything fine tuned exactly as I want it, without having to keep bugging Jamie and the rest of the Fuel Moto guys. I will say Fuel Moto's customer service (and their products) is top notch. Really pleased with everything they've done for me.

Glad to hear the call and response worked out for you. Told you. I've been to Fuel Moto a few times in person. Jamie and the gang are straight up awesome.

FM is one of the best. If I get a 18 King FM will get my business.
