the Tq is over a 100 with both cam around 2600 rpm's both cams top tq # is 110 tq. The 255 start falling off around 4600, the 555 are still going up around 5100 before really dropping off. At lower RPM the 255's just have a better feeling (pull like crazy) . 6th gear feels better never have to gear down. i just think between 1800-3600 rpms the 255 cant be beat. Dont care what dyno shows my ass can tell the differance.
Well, your "Butt-o-meter" is always the best judge for your riding style. If you like low RPMs, the Woods won't be for you, and neither will the 54H... although I've been told the 26H comes in much lower, around 1800 RPM. If you like to run the engine in the lower RPM range, the 255s will do that. They are "torque cams", and torque is what gets you moving. Just remember though, the best
total power from the engine is at or just before where the torque and HP curves cross over... or really where the torque starts falling off significantly... but if you don't like your RPMs that high, then you'll never operate in that band anyway. It is usually over 5000 RPM.
I like the 54H because it REALLY opens up starting in the mid 2000s, and the duration keeps it pulling right up to redline. The 110" engine in my bike with the 54H cams seems to like to run high up in the band... I hit redline on this beast almost effortlessly... at RPMs that would make my old Evo scream in agony! I have the V-Thunder EVL-3010 cam in the Evo, and it doesn't really come in until around 3000 RPM, but then it screams to redline, too. I haven't had an engine that likes to rev as freely as this 110" one in 25 years... going back to the Kawasaki 900cc inline fours I ran back in the day at 10,000+ RPM. My "Butt-o-meter" is quite happy with this bike and the 54H cams! Just need more V-Tune data...
