Does anyone have a cam spec spread sheet for the M-8 cams started?
Has Wood released the spec for any of his M8 cams?
How about TR or S&S?
If you know of sites with M-8 cams specs could you post the links here?

Thanks

At this point, the only cams specs available are from SE- Woods is offering 7 flavours of M8 cams, but no info other than "King of the mountain", " kick ass and take names", "#1 torque monster", etc. http://www.woodcarbs.com/mw8cams.htm
Ignorance is bliss, and accuracy expensive. How much of either can you afford?

That's all that I've seen as well Robin. I started a list, some TDC numbers I don't have yet.

At the risk of sounding like I have been in a coma for several months..............
I just now noticed the opening closing events are slightly different for the front and rear cylinders on this cam?
Trying to wrap my head around that.
Emissions deal?

Thanks for the info so far, that is about what I have found as well. I noticed Bobby used the cam numbers from the EVO and Twin cam on four or five of his M-8 cams and while he may have tried the same timing events for all three engine types I would wonder what he did for valve lift on the M-8 versions of cams like the 999, and 408. I would not think you would want or need over .600 lift in these heads.

Most are being silent with their specs

Maybe they are just waiting to see what Bobby does.  :hyst:

I started this thread in hopes that as the specs slowly come out, there would be one place to post them all so we can compare things.

Feuling said they had been testing cams, Andrews had a cam at the show but I didn't get to talk to Andrews.

I have heard some of the specs but I am betting some are going to change. Tuning issues on some of the test cams . All new set up will require some trial and error..

That's my thoughts... Gonna ride out the 2-year warranty period for as long as I can, and see where the #'s fall! ;)

I have my bike scheduled for a full exhaust swap (V&H power duals) and a SE Stage II torque cam kit.  Anyone know if the stage II kits require extra maintenance and/or adjustments?  And does it make the bike less reliable?  I want the extra low end torque but I also want this bike to last a long time.

That is what I was planing to do, thanks for posting it. With any luck we can add info to this thread as it comes out and add to your spread sheet.

That's so they can change the specs without you knowing when they get some real testing done some time down the road.

Steve Cole is in town and he came for dinner . WE had a long conversation about the new cams over a few  :beer: 's   and funny how some that are testing the same cam cannot obtain the same results as others and running into issues..  As I said it will be trial and error.

   Steve, have you being testing any of the cams.

OK I'll bite, how is it that the same cam will not give consistent results?

I cannot tell you what I am testing as well you sign paper work to not tell any one any thing. As for the same results well lets say you have two shops testing the same cam. Not uncommon what so ever. However one shop cannot obtain the same power numbers as the others .. That was my point not that it was s cam deal .

But the M8 cams are very picky slight change can go from hero to zero.   Well thats what my brothers uncles mailman said anyways  :hyst:
