New Cams for the Limited
5 Attachment(s)
Finally got around to installing the new cams in my Limited yesterday. Wanted to get them in before putting her away for winter. Anyway after a lot of research, conversation with Bob Wood and consensus with Jamie Long I went with the Woods 555's for my basically stock Limited.

Test rode it last night with plans to go out again today. With wet dark roads I was a little concerned about opening her up to see if I could feel the difference. Anyway, it is wet and salty out there so before she gets put up I will need to wash the crap off. Mission accomplished, I am ready for my buddies stage 1 CVO Ultra next spring in Daytona.... :icon_headbang:

awesome! ride safe on those cold roads! and keep us updated. how long did it take you for the install?

Did ya upgrade the intake or exhaust? What do ya plan to do for a tune?

at 1 mile Jan13 when it was delivered to my house, I installed V&H Power Duals and Monster Rounds, a Screamin Eagle Air Cleaner and back plate and a Power Commander 5. I had been running a downloadable tune for that build. Went online and loaded the tune for same build but SE 255 cams. Cam specs are similar with the Woods having more duration and lift. Anyway for now it is running great but it was 55 degrees outside today, 95 in the summer may be different. Purchased the cam from Fuel Moto so will reach out to Jamie Monday
Rode about 20 miles last night in the rain, another 100 today and she is running great. 2-5K RPM WOT is exactly what I wanted, Ran her up to 100 just under 4k RPM from 40MPH and she pulled like she didn't want to stop and who knows where she will top out. 5 Bills I don't regret. |

Basically just remove the air filter cover, the exhaust, the right floor board and cam cover. Cut the old pushrods out with a big pair of bolt cutters and reassemble with the new cams and adjustable pushrods. Load a new program and fire it up. BTW, bolt cutters are the preferred method to remove perfect fit pushrods without creating grind debris that can be detrimental to the lifters. |
555 having different duration, lift and timing than 255 s makes them nowhere near the same and you should not be using a 255 map.

I bet Mac here on the forum could help you out. He is pretty darn good with this Power Commander stuff. Fuel Moto had a trade in deal going and I sent in my old PCV and got a Power Vision. No regrets Mark |
