If I were to have to pick a Wood cam for a bagger, I'd personally go with the 5-6 and get the best of both worlds.

The base circle is different on the Wood's cams vs the stock cam so you will need to use adjustable pushrods for best results. This also allows you to get the pushrods adjusted into the later part of the lifter travel. There is a quick overview of cam installation on our website at www.fuelmotousa.com/cams.htm

Both cams tune out easily and run nice and cool. Comparing both cams the 555 has more overlap, more duration, and a later intake close which will allow for lower dynamic compression, however even with the short numbers of the 222's Bobby worked some tricks with exhaust duration to keep the motor cool compared to other similar cams. Both of these cams are real winners when matched up with a great combination.

The TW5-6 is a great cam as well, we have slid them in quite a few applications. The end results are very similar to the TW-555. Want to make big power? try a TW8-6 at 10.75 and that combination absolutely rips!

What is the overlap on the 222? they are definetly on my short list along with andrews 57's. I currently am running se254's and in 2011 103 stock heads. Thinking that the limited amount of overlap on the 254's is causing rear cylinder to run hotter then need be also thinking either 222 or 57's would have better low end.. thanks

I was looking on your website and didn't see any dyno sheets at first glance with the 5-6. I'd be interested in seeing that 8-6 combo too! I'm considering a 117 build for my Roady but I think it's going to be a while. All funds are going towards the shop right now. Send me somethin', man!

2009 SG: stock 96 ci; Woods TW 6-6 cams; SE roller tappets; SE adjustable pushrods; SE Stage 1 intake; SE SP Touring mufflers; SEST; Dyno 90 HP and 101 TQ. There is a noticable increase in midrange RPM torque. However, still considering the FM 107 kit.
