That certainly required a lot of "non billable" hours for wrenching & tuning. Great effort from FM !
I`m going to go out on a limb here:
Although many of us have favorites ( usually the cam we bought) and enjoy seeing our choice validated, many riders spend the majority of their time between 3K & 4K and the results are quite similar.
Not a bad pick in the bunch.

Big thumbs up for doing this .
Ill start first with a question . Which if any surprised you the most ?
some interesting decisions to make if all your looking to do is drop in a cam and be done with it. If your honest with how you really ride/what kind of riding you do this info is extremely helpful.
Good Job
We had a pretty good idea where most of them would land as nearly all of them have came across the dyno at one time or another, and as for the Wood's grinds we know them intimately so no surprises there. It was great seeing each cam in the same atmosphere. Each of the cams we tested were really good in their own respective way, but a few of them shined to me, probably because I don't get a chance work with them as frequently as some of the others, that's what made the test fun! The S&S 583 was a standout, this one made surprisingly strong low-mid RPM power, it doesn't have a torque curve it has a torque line down low. The Red Shift 525 also proved to be a beast for a little cam, very fun if you want early power below 4500. An honest answer is any of the early-mid range cams we tested really delivered. The S&S MR103 also impressed, it makes a really good balance of Hp & Tq with really good overall numbers. On the opposite end of the spectrum the S&S 570, Redshift 575, Feuling 574 are each really fun cams for guys that like to hot rod, and the Wood TW-999-6a is simply an animal. I could literally go on about each cam as they all have their own individual character.
Huge thank you to Jamie and the crew at Fuel Moto. Really great info you put together that will benefit all those customers that are hungry for data. My question is, after testing all these cams do you or will you have any new maps for your customers based on any of the data you gained from testing these cams? thanks again!
Would love to see YOUR rankings in black and white. Based on touring vs. this Dyna. To me, it seemed like the S&S 583’s, mr103’s, Woods 222’s and Andrews 48’s, were best for touring. With the later 3 being nearly identical. The big disappointment, to me, was the 570-2’s. I honestly thought they were going to beat everything. I was, however, very surprised by S&S! But, also a little disappointed in my 222’s. In your earlier tests, with a Fatcat, the numbers were slightly higher.
Thank you for being so open and honest. Your business ethics are beyond reproach.

The CycleRama 570-2 works great with the right combo of Exhaust and Breather in a TOURING BIKE !!
