I will wait and continue to save only now I will include money for the new cams. So when I do the new headpipe and AC I will also add the cams. Can't wait to hear who, what, and where these cams are coming from. Next month?

Yeah... I'm toughly impressed if I do say so myself.

No DDD, not quite. Those sheets are from 6 months ago and are already advertised. If they have been advertising these for so long why wouldn't I just post the link and say... Here they are?

Also, look at the dip in the TQ at mid range. Nope... not these cams at all. Good try though.

Look guys... I signed a contract saying I would not divulge who, where, what or when... OK. I am contractually obligated to not tell you. I have no other involvement in this except a free set of cams for trying them out and handing over the data. I don't think anyone is questing my motives here yet history has shown I have always touted great products. If I don't tout a certain product it's because I've tried it and it's not worth the money, it didn't work to my expectations or I haven't tried it. The fact that I do motor work and tune as a bike owner, not a shop, is why I was contacted for this challenge.

There will be no promises given, no guarantees how these cams will work out by the manufacturer. These are beta test cams that will produce different numbers in different motors so they are testing as many common 103's and 110's as they can before making any more.

I heard last night there was another set installed in a 103 that replaced a set of 57H cams. The tune hasn't been finished yet but the rider said it was an unbelievable change in bottom and mid range TQ. There is another set being tuned this weekend.

I know it's hard to be patient but... there was a set goal of performance. If this goal isn't reached they will not be sold to the public. The beta test will provide a standard set of progress and average numbers/gains/losses.

Reading numbers on charts can be deceiving. Numbers on a graph can say anything and mean different things. To be as indifferent as possible I did a baseline then another set of numbers after the install and tune to see the difference. I know the 254E cams did a great job in my trike and pulled hard. They were very near 105 peek TQ but the same testing equipment and software settings gives me a 13 TQ bump over the 254's?? Yeah... I'm sold. These cams aren't coming out of my trike.

I promise to give you guys more information when I get updated from others across the country. There are just some things I can't talk about, not yet anyways.

I'm hooked and waiting to be reeled in.

I am glad I have waited to pull the plug on engine and exhaust mods.

Thanks for all you do!!

Bob

Hope someone, some where is testing the 110 with V&H Dresser Duals. Wiz, what lifters and push rods did you use?

I haven't been able to just get out and ride with year end accounting stuff at work. However... I do know just a tad bit about how these cams were ground and gas mileage should be the same or average for a Trike. I normally average 32. If I get anything near that I'm happy.

Yes Delta... I've seen preliminary numbers on a 110 and they look good, very good. There is at least one more 110 that is being worked on now. They hope to have 3 110's if possible.

Stock lifters and push rods were used on mine. They clack a little at hot idle on the back side but most do.

If I read this right, I may have a chance of this working on my newly rebuilt S&S 106 with the 585 cam that isn't right for it now. Got my fingers crossed.
