2012 FLHX, Stage 1 with power duals, air cleaner and race tuner. Current tune has 80hp and 100tq. Not sure that if I did a 222 now then a year or so down the road I won't want even more. Spoke to Bob Wood today and he said do 777 over a 555 if I want more later. Don't buy 2 cams if you don't have to.

I used to shift around 3k rpm until I spoke with one of your guys. Now I shift around 4k and the bike seems happier and more of a smile on my face too. 90% of the time I ride solo and I commute 40 miles a day at around 70-80mph on cruise control. I do like to play though every once in a while when on rides with friends.
Decision is killing me! I want good power with wife on back and loaded for a road trip and I would like to be a little quicker than the next guy(she is small at only 112 pounds and I'm 230). Currently getting around 36-38 mpg and don't want that to get worse if I don't have to. We enjoy our road trips and reliability.

What are your thoughts Jamie? I think I'm in info overload on this site!!
Generally speaking for what you are looking for and considering you may want to go to possibly big bore/cylinder heads I would steer you toward the TW-777's, they are based off the TW-555 grind with slighly more lift & duration.

Crap...too late. Ordered the 555 and they are going on next Tuesday. Didn't see this response until now so I had to figure out how to turn that feature on here in this forum. I'm sure I will be happy with the 555's...

I had the 222's in my 08 SG (96") and they were great. If you're looking for low and mid rpm torque they are hard to beat. They were really impressive when my wife rode with me and the bike would pull like she wasn't even there. If you spend a lot of time in the 3-5k rpm range then I'd say look at the 555.
