I just got back from a trip in the mountains. The woods cam is really lacking. I think I'll be going with some thing a little closer to the stock cam. I'm really like the looks of the cyclerama 460. I'm definitely changing this lame cam. It as the same power band of a twin cam. I also need to change the rhinehart muffs. They rob to much low end. May go back to the SE muffs. They might be quiet, but they make good power down low.
And yes I have a good tune by GMR.

What elevation were you at? Compression may wake this cam up.

Now that I got my map squared away, I really do like this cam and think it performs way better than stock. It pulls hard down low with no hesitation now. I have the Fuel Moto 2/1/2 header and Jackpot mufflers with a SE Ventilator ac though, so maybe my set-up is different than yours. Having said that, I wish the Cyclerama 460 was released sooner because I may have gone with that one based on the one or two dyno sheets I've seen.

Did GMR actually dyno it or just give you a map?

The lack of low end may very likely be your exhaust combination.

Most that run stage I have no clue as to how much the exhaust can effect the torque curve.. Add a cam with some overlap, and the cam is crappy..

We have a shop that does all kinds of work on Harleys in the chicago area, they carry your product. When I decide to have some work done on my bike, stage 2, will they be able to recommend the different set ups and tuners for my bike? I kind of like the FP3, but i realize there are other tuners available as well.

Do you recommend leaving the reducer in your 2/1/2? What core size is preferred on a 222 cam? I went with black so your mufflers were not an option for me.

yes they do, solid performers, at least on my Stage 1..I got oodles of grunt just a little above idle..interesting how I see some here posting Stage 3 and 4 SE kit upgrades with less tq than my SE stage 1 in the low rpm range...makes no sense to me
