Default Any one have T-MAN heads and cams on their bagger

Thinking of changing up things this winter, looking at the new 600 cam. Thanks for any feed back.

Im about to install the TMan 555 Torqsters on my 2012 RGC. The specs are almost identical to the tried and true Andrews 37's only they have more lift which I would expect to help with the newer style better flowing heads. I almost went with the 600's but decided to run a little less overlap and duration for the way I ride and 600 lift needs roller rockers IMO.

Have roller rockers in now, and the cam I have now has more overlap than the T-man cam. One day I will learn to leave the damn thing alone and just ride LOL Thanks for the input.

Running a T-man 625 and it is awesome! Very quiet too. Think I should have tried the 662!

TR will tell you the 600 is better to build around if you want to bump compression, do head work etc. They should rip if you set them up with 10.25:1 compression or so and probably a little more forgiving on the tune as well.

I'm running a 625 and Stage II heads in the Night Train. The 625 is probably a little soft at lower RPMs for a bagger, but it flat rips in the 'Train.

I live about 1 hour away from his shop and was thinking his heads set up for that cam would give me more than I have now. The HQ cam comes on later than I like.

The intake timing on the cams you have compared to the 600 from TR are nearly the same. You'd have a little less overlap but I dont know that it would move your TQ curve to the left a whole bunch. Maybe someone who knows more than I will chime in and let you know.

Another viable option would be to take some teeth off your front pulley.

Well here is my dyno sheet and it is making 115 ft. lbs. torque in the mid 2K's....not too soft I think.....

Thats a helluva dyno sheet but its not really comparing apples to apples when you're running a gear driven 117" built like a brick **** house to a 103.
