Default Woods WM8 22X-E

Thinking of putting the Woods WM8 22X-E in my 2019 114 Limited. I know it produces great hp and torque. Those of you running it does the power come on smoothly. I’m old I want torque but not a jerky ride. I live in an area that is very hilly and spend a fair amount of time in the western mountains each year. Thanks

I’m running the WM8-22X in a 107 and pulls right off of idle, nice and smooth predictable power. I’m running a Bassani Road Rage, S&S a/c with a Power Vision tuner, couldn’t be happier with the setup.

2020 RGS 114 installed 22XE and I think its assume !! Low to midrange torque is crazy strong plus the 6th gear pickup on the highway is great

Being in Wisconsin, visit Fuel Moto, hands down. regardless if you do the work yourself or have them install and tune it...you can't go wrong.
Best thing you could do, IMO, is be honest with what you want now, possibly down the road. Map a plan, put the package together correctly.
All the best parts in the world don't mean squat if they're not designed to work together...

Thanks. I’ve got a S&S Sidewinder 2-1 and S&S Stealth AC and a Powervision stage 1 map. All from fuel moto. Intend to take advantage of their Black Friday sales and get a new cam kit, S&S cam plate and oil pump, and cam tensioner. Gonna give fuel moto a call next week.

Norse75, Hey there I would think the 22XE would be a great cam!! I have the 22X in my 107/114 Big bore!! With a canned map from Fuel Moto, just a roll on dyno for number, I'm getting 110Hp and 117Tq!! Come on about 1800rpms and goes all the way past the rev limiter 5200 to 6000 extended by Power Vision!! Buy it you'll love it!!

These are the exact numbers I’m getting with the 495 cam that came with the Stage 3 kit, I was thinking of swapping out that one with the 22x cam but if I end up with the same numbers not much point. I’m also using the PV and had it Dyno.

what's the difference between the 22X & 22XE? Currently looking at cams and curious about the difference.
