I want their dyno to do my bike, it is amazing how their numbers are so much higher than every one else. My 2011 road glide ultra with Boyesen power x intake, V&H power duals, PC-V with auto tune, and Andrews 54H cams on Robs dyno can ONLY achieve 87 hp and 92 lb ft torque and yet even without cams theirs can reach above 100. In lieu of discussion mine were done at 100* and the bike runs better than the #'s indicate. Thank God we don't ride dyno sheets.

I'm sure they would be if I knew what in the hell they were. I haven't spent a whole lot of time playing with the Power Vision - how do you do the reset? I scrolled through the menus and didn't see anything.

Anyone know if the cams are compatible with the stock push rods or do you have to use adjustable push rods?

Any cam is compatible with stock pushrods if you remove the rocker boxes, adjustables allow you to cut out the stock push rods without having to remove the tank and the rocker boxes.

I read on this forum that the 555's have a smaller base circle and therefore required adjustables (per Jamie @ FM). Was wondering if the base circle on the TW 222 was also smaller.

not even close to being true. Only cams with the same base circle or nearly the same base circle can be used with stock pushrods.

Ok, thanks and sorry, live and learn, I guess.

While the TW-222 makes some nice looking numbers, I'm holding out for the TW-333 cam.

Actually, I'd like to see some comparision to the TW-222 and the TW5-6 cam that woods makes. It kind of looks like you're splitting hairs between the two cams.
