Yeah, I have seen that. A lot of that will depend on the mufflers that are being used also. On this set up I would have to say that the WM8-22x probably had the best heart beat, but I think asking an M8 to sound like a Shovelhead is a stretch. A louder more open exhaust is probably going to kill the torque at low RPM also.

So all of these cams were very rideable. The two that impressed me the most were the TTS 100 and the RS468.
When I left the shop with the TTS 100 I accelerated in 1st gear and made an aggressive shift to 2nd that picked the front wheel off the ground. It wasn’t a lot, but it did leave the ground some.
With the RS468 I left the shop and I swear I could hear the rear tire squealing a little under acceleration in first. Later returning to the shop I nailed it in first gear and the front wheel came up, again not much but it did come off the surface.
We’ll know more when Steve gets the acceleration in third gear figures calculated. There could be some surprises, but my feeling is either the TTS 100 or the RS468 will be the quickest. I really don’t think there’s much difference in any of them, except for the stock cam and the SE8-462.

The one that produces the most torque at 2500-3000 RPM. Which seems to be what the TTS100 and the Harley 447 were designed for.
