Give Fuelmoto a call, they are very helpful.

This, or any other reputable builder.

I suspect that the 888 requires more compression to get value out of it, so probably not a great bolt in cam, but others who are more knowledgeable will probably chime in.

If you want a good bolt-in cam for a 103, I've seen a lot of people who have TW-222's that are happy, Andrews has a very similar cam, etc., but I'd talk with someone that actually builds engines, vs someone like me who's only qualification is that I've slept in a Holiday Inn.

I have the Woods 222 in my 103 Street Glide which is pretty much stock otherwise. Just stage 1 air filter and full exhaust. I like the 222's but they are not for people that rev the crap out of their bike. For riding in the back country of WI they are awesome. Less downshifting and the torque is very noticeable. Otherwise the 555 is a good compromise of everything and we were told by Fuel Moto would even wake up more with headwork. We put the 555 in the wife's 96' Fatboy and they are awesome with no headwork.

It all depends on what you are trying to do with the bike. Cams are all made differently depending on if you want more horsepower vs torque, if you want it at the low end, middle or top end. Also note, that with high lift cams you will need to replace your valve springs in about 25,000.

Personally, I went with the 255 cam as it brings on early torque and still allows good highway travel of about 80-90mph. It is also a low rise cam so there was no issues with the valve springs.

Yes, Wood 888's would most likely too big of cams for a stock touring HD 103"

Stick with the 222 or 555 depending on where you want the tq to pick up and fall off.

What is your goals and future plans? What type of riding do you do? It's best to call Fuel Moto, they can tell you what each woods cam will do.
