Default Need cam ideas

I have a 16 SGS. No motor work done at this point. I have a 2-1 D&D fat cat exhaust with a screaming eagle heavy breather with a power vision tuner programmed by fuel moto. Over the winter I did allot of cosmetic work on my scooter. Now looking to add some power without breaking the bank. I do a mix of city, highway, and back country road riding. Looking for mid low to mid range torque along with maximum horsepower gains. I'm think the woods 555 cams should give me that agreed power that I'm looking for along with setting me up for future mods when I'm looking to get the heads ported etc. Any help is much appreciated

Take a look at dragos bike works cams. He offers a 2 week money back guarantee if your not happy. No one I've heard of does that. Frank is a straight shooter.

Also andrews cams are good for the money.

Go to J&B Performance FB page, they have done several different combo's and have several dyno's posted that show the results. Personally I'd install some Woods 777's and bump the comp. up to at least 10.3 or do head work and then bump the comp. to 10.6 like mine, then you'd have a runner for a 103".

SE255 gave me the low end torque I was missing for low rpm two up touring, and sounds wicked. Highly recommend.

If you have a 103HO it's not SE 255 cams. It similar but not the same.

If you've already been dealing with Fuel Moto why not talk to them? I believe if at a later date you do head work you'll want more cam than the 555's.

thanks for clarifying. Thats what I've been told. Given the future changes I plan to make, moving to a 255 would be pointless. What about gear drive cams?
