I know we all run all kinds of cams..

What I like to know is anyone out there running the woods TW222 or the Andrews 57H cam. Like to know if anyone has them in there Trikes and any numbers for torgue or horsepower would be great

The TW 555 seems to be a favorite for the Trikers also.

Any feedback is welcome..ThumbUp
 
Quite a few cams out there to choose from, Head Quarters HQ500, HQ525, Tman 555 Torqster, of course the Wood TW555, & TW6. By the looks of it the Wood TW222 should work as should the Andrews 57 which is more or less a TW37 pumped up. There are folks running the Redshift 575 in 103" bagger with no complaints.

Coming up with dyno charts with them in a trike is like searching for a needle in a hay stack. You can find sheets of the cams run in baggers but it could be tough to determin how the cam will work with the exhaust we are stuck with on the trikes. Lot of guys running 2:1 or duels on their baggers. An exhaust can make or break a combination.
 
Running Andrews 57H in an 08 California Sidecar Conversion. They create loads of low end torque and don't run out till way beyond where I like to shift. Had to add an AIM VP lockup to the clutch basket after cause the clutch would slip, even cold. Also punched up to a 103.

Great set up.:10:

Enjoy the Ride.

Real close, here's yours. Green is yours with the SE255 cams and blue is the finished tune with the TW555 cams.

Was that torgue number over 100?? Sure looks great to me...What else besides the cams did you do? Header,Mufflers etc I bet??

Other than the cams it has the SE Air Cleaner with the K&N filter, Rush true dual headers and Rush mufflers with 2 inch baffles at that time. I have since trashed the Rush mufflers for a set of SE Fatshotz and a minor retune. I am very happy with the way it sounds and runs now. We ride 2 up mostly and pull a trailer on long trips. I just did 4000+ miles from MO to Montana and back with the trailer and averaged 27.5 mpg. Not great, but acceptable.

The cam, a screamin eagle stage 1 air cleaner and the SE 4" mufflers. Might have been able to get more with some more time fiddling, but I was looking to have a conservative tune that wasn't so fuel picky.
