    Rosa's 106" on 08 Roadking

    I dropped off my bike at Rosa's today and decided to go with 106"

    He's porting my heads and putting in Woods TW 5-6 cams.

    He'll also put on a free flow airfilter and TTS Master Tune.

    I installed Bub 7 Stealth slip ons.

    He dyno'd my stock set up with just the Bub 7 Stealths and I had 70 hp and 87 torque.

    I'll post before and after dyno results when I get it back.

    edit - forgot I'm getting new pushrods too.


    I almost cut my hair, it happened just the other day.
    It was gettin' kinda long, I could've said it was in my way.
    But I didn't and I wonder why, I feel like letting my freak flag fly

    You going that big and not address the crankshaft issue? Got a sneaking suspicion that you will not like the noise of the Woods cams either, their ramps are really aggressive and make more noise than anyone else's, and are very hard on the valvetrain. Hope you are doing roller rockers with them. Not busting your chops, just trying to make you aware of the pitfalls we can get into very easily.

    I asked Andrew to check the crank runout before he does anything.
    I'm only doing what I listed.

    hey cool ... there's no substitute for cubic cubes

    are those cams for high rpm power rather than midrange?

    My bike is ready.

    But I won't pick it up until tomorrow evening.

    Yea man, these 96" bikes are easy to hop up big time.
    I'm very much looking forward to it.

    I didn't ask about the #s, but hp and torque should be about 115 or 120 I think.
    If it's lower than that it is because of the exhaust.
    You need SE heads or similar to fit those cams in without removing the heads.
    From what I have read, those cams you have are very good for low end torque anyway.

    I went with what Andrew Rosa recommended because I trust him. He builds a lot of motors and gives a good warranty. He doesn't want to build something that will break.
