Default Another cam thread
I’m thinking of having a cam installed in my ‘15 Slim, a 103 engine. I’ve read Fuel Moto’s charts on the 103 cam shootout. Numbers don’t lie but there is something said for real world experience. Anyone have a cam in a 103, what is it, do you like it, do you wish you went with something else? I’m in it for more torque, ride solo, have a 2-1 contender exhaust on its way to me now. Thanks in advance.

First thing you need to do is Contact Fuel Moto and tell them what you have and what you are looking to accomplish. It's a sum of all things to get it right.

What ever cam you do decide to go with, you will need a tuner or Dyno tune..

With FM’s input, went with a Woods TW222. I have a Dyno Jet so should be all set with tuner. Thanks all.

I'm sorry but I'm finding It extremely hard to swallow that you get that kind of power out of a 103 with just a cam. No way in hell.. or there's other parts in that motor that you're not telling us..

I don't know how I did that but my post is in the wrong thread. Has nothing to do with this discussion.
