Anyone running this cam?
I see it listed as working well with a stock set up and wonder how it compares to the woods 222 that is the rave.
I know I could call fuel moto but figure they are busy enough and peeps on here must have installed and ran one or both.
Thanks in advance.
It is very similar. The 5-6 has 6 more degrees duration on intake and exhaust and .020" more lift. It has 4 more degrees overlap. It will move the torque curve 200 to 300 rpms to the right. You probably won't notice difference. The .575 lift is a little more than I would like unless had the .585 springs. Should be able to out do the 222 if couple tenths more of compression.
I have them on my SG and love it. Great bagger cam. Can load the bike with the wife for a weeks vacation and it's just twist and go. I rarely have to downshift to pass or climb a huge hill. Would choose this cam again when I buy my next HD. Builder said I left some HP/TQ on the table by choosing the Super Traps but I wanted quiet exhaust. Very satisfied
Attached is the dyno sheet of my 103 with TW-222 cams. I looked at the TW5-6 but like the OP could find little to no info and certainly no comparisons between the two cams.
Jamie at Fuel Moto recommended the TW-222 cam so I went with it. Not sure if the TW5-6 would have been better, but I am pretty happy with my TW-222 as a drop in cam.
The dyno chart is a stock 2012 103" with Rinehart Extreme true duals and an HD Heavy Breather and TW-222 cams. No head work or bump in compression.
If you get the TW5-6 post a dyno sheet so we can see.
