TCALZ06, Just checked my Woods catalog, the cam retail price is $350. You will also need to install Woods springs W188-1200-10L for $280. We can offer a 10% disount off retail pricing to any members of the big dog forum with any orders placed with us. This also includes any CHROME need you have as well!

I know these parts are a little on the expensive side. I though the same thing too when I purchased these parts. Truthfully, their worth every penny, guaranteed!

Give me a call at the shop today if I can answer any questions for you over the phone my man!

The Woods W6HF cam is a .650 lift, and a 248 duration. High lift, short duration, max torque, pulls like a freight train... !

Woods catalog calls it "Monster Torque" cam.

Matt, so you left your cylinders at the longer length and decked your heads instead? What size did the combustion chamber end up. Did you cc the heads after.

Yea, K9Matt's bike Rocks and Rolls. Woods All The Way! I've got the Head Quarters cam (hq0023) in my 04 Boxer. 600 intake 530 exhaust, nice low duration. I may jump on the band wagon and port and polish.

Always measure your deck height before cutting. And also cc the head before milling. We measured stock chamber volume at 88cc and left it at that. With a zero deck that came out to 10.5:1 compression ratio.

sorry for my inaccurate post above - I was going from memory but you got the drift - Black Dawg - your knowledge in this area is very impressive - so you would recommend decking the jugs first? does this just mean shaving a bit off the bottom? is that a big job? I think Vicky said on here somewhere that cutting down the cylinders is more effective than head work on these engines but again I'm going from memory. please excuse my ignorance

Matt ? Did you go the extra step and check the clearance from the valves to the piston? 05chop

there are installation instructions on the website that include something on that I think - If I get one of these things I won't fit it myself

Thanks but I'm no expert. Yes, deck the jugs first (the material is cut from the bottom of the jug). Decking the jugs is no big deal, I paid a machinist $80 to do it.

If you need more compression then look into milling the heads. Piston to valve clearance becomes critical if you start milling the heads though (always measure). Since you're looking at cams with short duration I'd definitely NOT mill the heads for more compression. You'll end up with a dynamic compression that is way too high for pump gas.

I'd also avoid any major porting or larger valves if your goal is anything but high rpm power as this will slow down port velocity in the mid and lower rpm range.

great info Black Dawg I appreciate that - I guess the principle with the porting and larger valves is similar to venturi sizes on the carb? I'll look into getting my jugs (I always thought that was a pair of tits until I joined this forum) decked first

You're right, Lee - it just happens to be one of those wonderful coincidences in the English language! :D

Hi Chop, we did not do a PTV clearance measurement when assembling the motor. From the information that S&S tech gave us when doing the headwork, our calculations came out correct with to have ample PTV at top dead center. Our deckwork was mild on this motor compared to another dealer that really takes alot off the head on the Big Dogs for their version of engine upgrade!

That's what I meant by negative deck height. Postive would be over the deck. We tried to get mine at zero.

getting my deck done - been to see my man today about it and he agrees it makes good engineering sense - he got very technical about it which went over my head a bit but he did say something along the lines of that damage can be done with heat because part of the cylinder can be part of the combustion chamber with a taller deck, although as I said I didn't really understand what he was saying

blackdawg.......how much material did you take off cylinders. i have the woods cam w6hf 650 lift and springs. i want to raise comp to 10.5.1 and dont really want to take it off the head.

We put one of these cams in my K9 last spring. We also installed a set of Woods springs as well. The cam is a .650 lift. They are pricey. This cam was recommended to my by another biker. I already had the S&S cam in hand ready to install. Returned the S&S cam, got the Woods cam, and holy crap, does that cam work! Damn! The bike is a freekin stump puller for sure. Absolutely incredible!

Coolbreeze, if your out there, let us know what you thought when you test rode the bike.....!

If you need one of these cams, call me at the shop. We are a Woods dealer.

I lost my notes, but I believe it was .045. Now, don't go by what I measured and cut, you need to measure what yours actually is.
