I've talked to Bob Wood about the new M8 cams and he would not release the cam specs... I don't blame him. So if you want to use a Woods cam in that M8 107 you'll have to call him and trust his expertise.. I have for quite some time now.... I love his ramps. I think they're the best all around...
I don't want to sound like a parrot, but color me impressed with Cyclerama's offerings. It's amazing what kind of power these M8's can get, with a simple cam change.

Then again, this ain't too shabby, either... But, if it were my money, I think I'd go with the cr-450's and be done.

First off, I'm new to the forum and glad to be here. I normally don't do reviews on products unless they prove to be worthy of time and money. I've been searching for more torque out of my street glide ,so I called the great guys at fuelmoto and asked them their recommendations on a cams and lifters package. They recommend the wood 222 cams , wood night prowler lifters and fm adjustable push rods. I pulled the trigger and got the fm 222 kit that came with all the gaskets and bearings. I watched their cam swap videos and followed their instructions down to the T. The install went very easy to my surprise. Although I turn wrenches for a living, I was hesitant to tare into my pride and joy.
I got it all finished up in about 5hrs. The wood night prowler lifters bled down quite fast due to the thin oil they were packed in from the factory and the instructions say not to prefill the prior to assembly.so that helped tremendously with time.
I downloaded the power vision map that was so kindly giving to me by Jamie at fuelmoto when I got the kit.. I checked compression prior to busting her off to verify the numbers were even on both cylinders. Everything checked out OK so I turned her over and she fired right up with out hesitation. The first start up was nerve racking because the lifters chattered like a old typewriter but after a few mins it got whisper quit and I knew they were going to be noisy at first till the thin oil in the lifters got replaced by the heavy mobile 20w50 in the engine. I took her up the road for spin to try it out and I was blown away at how smooth it had made my acceleration feel and the sheer power it has now. It felt like it was going to leave the face of the earth .The idle sounds awesome. Definitely a big improvement over stock. The biggest thing I have noticed is how quit my valve train is now vs stock . Don't get me wrong, my stock lifters weren't bad noisy by any means but I could hear them at certain rpms from time to time. The wood night prowler lifters coupled with the fm push rods definitely made a huge improvement. You hear alot of folks complain about valve train noise after a cam swap but I'm truly impressed with the set up fuelmoto has hooked me up with. My money doesnt come easy to me but i will say It was the best $745 I've ever spent on my baby. I did this review to help anyone who is on the fence about doing a cam swap. I also wanted to say thanks to Jamie and the awesome crew at fuelmoto for their guidance and for taking the time to answer my questions about which cams were best for me. I've got pics I'll try to upload of my install.
Thanks
