I couldnt find anything really on here about TMANs cam. I read all about Woods 555. I wanted to know what everyone would pick if there were only these two cams to pick from. I can search for threads, But that wasnt really what I was asking ....just saying

Thanks for the links tho

Wood cams and Wood directional lifters - Proven torque and both make a very quiet engine.

fortunately there are a lot of cam experts on this forum but, unfortunately I am not one of them,
so...I ask the same question, what range torque, lope tone etc.

only my question now involve the Woods TW-555 and the 2 Tman cams below,

I may be going with the TR-555 with 9.6:1 CR in my 103 RKC , stock top
