Am collecting parts for a cam swap on my softail convertible.
Woods tw7h, use a .030 head gasket, deck the heads .020.
Plan on using v&h big shot staggered pipes and power vision.
Thoughts from the experts? Am I moving in the right direction. I want more midrange and up than the 255's provide.
-
One of the worst pipes to use. Will want to get up in the midrange then die due to the poor pipe. Consider a D&D Billet Cat.
-
I'm not set on those pipes just like the looks of the 2 into 2.
The d&d fatcat is also on my list.
Just need something low enough to clear the saddlebags.

Truer words were never spoken.
Use a D&D Borezilla if performance is the priority. (which it should be). FatCat's are good but just a tad small
for a 110, although it would work.

I have an RB racing LSR header on mine,nice fit,finish and performance
-
Does anyone use Thunder Headers any more? I always liked the sound of it on my Fatboy and performance did not seem bad either.
-
Get the D&D, you won't be disappointed.
-
Yea that looks like the pipe I'll be getting. So from what I've been reading those cams like to be run at at least 10 to 1.
And will I get there by taking .030 off the heads and a .030 gasket?
This upgrade will hopefully get me by we get our house bought then it will be time for the 117 ....
-
That is guess work as far as compression.
Consider actual fluid measurement and measuring how far the pistons are in the hole. Then you know where you are really at.
-
Most definitely.. I will be dropping the heads off at cycle Rama and letting Wes deck them. And measure the chambers for me...
-
Perfect, Wes is a good guy

Get the Borezilla since you're going bigger later on... fyi

You'll be in good hands there. (I'd try to get them at least to 10.4) Wes will give you advice though. Let us know
what he says!

I'm using a Fat Cat (full exhaust system) and the TW7H cams, and could not be happier.
just my 2 cents

Did you raise the compression?
-
Nope. I must admit I'm a bit of a newb, and had the shop do it and went with their recommendations. I was doing lifters and last minute decided to do pipes and cams. Fueling lifters, Zippers tensioners, Woods cams, and D&D exhaust. 105ish HP, and 117ish TQ. I'm happy ....... for now. I'd like to get into the 120/130 numbers next go around.

Good deal. The stock 110 feels like riding a tractor around.
I miss my old night train with 204's.

You have Wood cams and a D&D on there right?
Get the heads worked on and that HP will come right up.

Haven't done the swap yet. Still all stock.
I have everything but the tuner, gonna schedule the headwork and dyno for the middle of december.
Thanks for all the info. Bunch of talented techs on here..

Contact MCE Performance for your head work best in the biz. IMHOP

Well, have a change of plans. After talking to Wes we decided to do a piston change and go with his cnc head package. Along with a set of his 595 cams.
Should be a ton of fun in this softail..

Dropped off heads and cylinders at cycle rama today, Wes should have em done in a few weeks and will build and tune mid december.

Good choice.
Major compression changes should be done with piston dome whenever possible.
Cutting the heads should only be done for fine tuning the C/R.

How far horsepower wise would I be able to push the stock 50mm tb?

I would use a 58, no less than a 55 if you're wanting 130HP

I'd be happy with 115 -120 for now. Later down the road I'm gonna do a full build 117".
-
Following...have been interested in the CR 595 cam, just finishes harder than I'm looking for but still pulls harder to the left than some smaller cams. Would love to see one in a 117... I also have a TW-7 sitting here waiting for install :confused5:

ide go 113" with a 58mm t body now,why do it twice? going 103" is a simple bore and done right,you`ll get your 125-130 and not need to go 117"
-
I've gotten 130/130 out of 103s converted to 110, many times. 127-129 squared is not uncommon
with less than stellar pipes too.
-
Had the bike tuned today at Cycle Rama, these are std correction numbers.
Totally changed the bike, will light up the rear tire pretty quick.
Wont let me upload a pic of the sheet.
It did 121 at 5600 and 128 at 4200.
Starts at 110 torque at 2500 then hits hard at 4000. Lines cross at 120.
Am pleased as hell.
-
Would love to see the sheet on that...what's the final list of specs?

have tried posting the sheet but file is too big.
build specs are
110" .010 over dome pistons. 10.7 to 1 static, blows about 205 cold cranking pressure
cycle rama ported se 110 heads , stock valve sizes.flowed 310 cfm on the intake.. decked to 91cc's
cr 595 cams
stock 50 mm tb., stock ventilator ac.
basanni pro street exhaust
been raining since last night so havn't got a chance to ride much
-
here it is
I didnt want to go crazy with cost's thats why the mild headwork, and really didnt want to push the stock bottom end. probably leaving at least 5-10 hp with the stock tb and exhaust.
-
:2vrolijk_21: :coolblue: Leaving some with the TB/INJ and EXH for sure...
-

I loved mine for over 40k miles on a 103!
ALWAYS outperformed expectations regardless of cam!
