I don't have to shift fast with my TW222 cams, not sure about what that is all about.

===============

What he may have ment was that maybe he heard or read the TW222 cams fall off on power earlier then other grinds do so you have shift at for example 4,500-4,600rpm because the cams/motor have already stopped making power at that rpm and if you rev the motor past that power/perf really falls off quickly with motor seemingly falling on it face.

The Andrews 48 and 57 cams are both nice choices!
Both of these are great bolt-ins, as they don't need/like added compression.

I ran the 57H in a 106" build for a few years, GREAT Tq/Hp.
They come on early and carry out past 5500 RPM.

My brother is running the 48H in his 2013 Limited and loves them!
Similar to the 57's but don't carry out as far.

Price wise, you can find Andrews cams for a lot less than Woods:
$225 (Direct Cycle Parts)
$213 (Phat Performance)

* I'm upgrading my current build to a 107" at 10.2:1 CR
I've swapped out the 57's for the S&S Ez Start 570 cams.

Then let's stand back for a few moments! Are you planning to install cams in a stock engine, or have other work done as well? IMHO the simplest way ahead is to decide what you want of your bike, style of riding, 2-up etc, than talk to a local or HDF tuning shop. They will advise you on a proven package, including cams, plus perhaps ported heads, high CR pistons, tuner, the whole nine yards. Simples! Takes the stress out of it, just gives you a bill to pay and, if you chose a bit of DIY, the satisfaction of stripping and rebuilding your engine.

I'm running 48's in my 103 and have 107 kit coming with ported heads, still going to use the same cams. I may be leaving some dyno numbers on the table, but having all that torque down where you can use it makes all the difference.

Well too me the best of all listed here is the Andrews 57's. I've seen several dyno sheets as mine as well and these cams are very hard to beat, especially for the money. Personally I wouldn't pay the $150 dollar difference for the Woods 222's. I'll post you 2 dyno sheets to look at, the 57 cams is my bike and the Woods 222's is a 2012 Limited from a friend of mine but the dyno sheet don't let you know that the 57's just plain feel better imo. Take a look and hopefully this will help. Also we did the 2015 calibration to my bike and retuned and got it too break 100ft lbs about 200 rpms sooner than what my dyno sheet says and gained 10ft lbs down low, I just don't have that print out.

I am very happy with my 57h grinds all through the rpm range. If someone complains that they dont have low end torque, then its usually because they dont have a proper tune on the 57h.

Harley just released a new cam SE 585, it looks to be a good torque cam. Int .585 lift 234* duration 18/36 int close Ex .585 240* 47/13. The old tried and true SE 204 is still hard to beat, a little less lift at .508 but should give you just as much bottom end as the 222 for less $$. Pick any of the cams listed, or the T-man 555 torqster, and you won't be able to feel much difference seat of the pants, maybe on a dyno. Bang for your buck you can't beat Andrews cams, if you see a bad review on any of these cams it's probably because they were expecting too much.
