  • Wake up your Harley-Davidson M8, Milwaukee 8 engines and its 4 valve heads respond extremely well to camshaft swaps, picking the right cam will deliver that horsepower and torque where you want it. With a Stage 1 complete you're looking for some more reliable power but not ready to get deep into the engine, a Stage II kit is the way to go. Harley offers two cam options in either torque or power cams, you might just be surprised how much power can be had while keeping your warrnaty intact.

    Went to Moonshine horsepower in Franklin Tennessee with my 2021 SGS had them do a 128 kit with bulletproof primary. Moonshine horsepower 1 7/8”pro stock header and exhaust. 64mm intake with the 492/30 cam. 6.24 GM/SEC injectors.
    Horsepower topped out at 138.7. Torque went to 151. The guys there were super cool. They had me in their shop for hours showing me different things and just talking. After the build was done, two days later we had a few drinks after the shop closed also talking about the build. I heard they were good. so I trailered from Wisconsin to Tennessee. They did not disappoint.

    Very good topic just picked up a 2020 / 114 Road glide S ran it 1000 miles for brake in and 1K service did a stage 2 torque kit. Also
    Ventilator elite intake, Vance & Hines power dual full exhaust, Screaming eagle pro tune WITH smart tune . I agree about the pushrods however
    The M8 works really well with this build. No increase in performance clatter...civilized with a real seat grab At 63 years old I prefer to get the weight rolling other builds were always aftermarket .How ever as of this posting this combo really rocks. For the price point I feel money well spent. Ride safe

    My first experience with Stage 2 (SE torque cam) was on a 2017 Ultra Classic. It was an excellent performance upgrade and I found that first year M8 to be as reliable as an anvil. My new ride is a 2022 Road Glide Special. In stock trim it runs about as strong as the Stage 2 107. The 114 runs really strong with the SE stage 1 and sounds great with 4.5 Street Cannons. I have all the parts for the SE torque cam including high SE tappets and inner cam bearing just waiting for the appt to get it done at Harley. If I can maintain the warranty and reliability like on the 107 I'll be one happy camper. I use my bike for a commuter so it gets lots of miles and about 50% at high speeds on the Interstate (85-95mph cruising speeds). The torque cam didn't fall short on the ultra and I hope I made the right choice for the Glide. Time will tell. I like to live in 2500-3500 RPM range.

Now I also just added a Vance and Hines power duals head pipe. Wow, the sound is awesome now. For my riding style. I'm good to go. And I keep my dependability of the bike. I hardly ever go over 4500 rpm.

      I' just bought a 2021 Road glide limited, putting Vance n Hines power duals head pipe just like my 103 twin cam had which had great sound n performance, but this time instead of vance n hines high output slip ons, I'm going to try the reinhart slip ons first because the back came new from the dealership with them, and I'm also going to go with the horse power cam instead of the Torque because I know set up this way running two up on the highway I have more power band to pass with at 70 and I twist the throttle to pass or run away from other traffic n find my own piece of the highway, lots of our runs we take back roads twisting thhru hills n curves eat dinner then jump on the highway and race back home a hr or two, plus Im wanting to do some longer week n weekend trips the next couple yrs, if not happy with power cam,when warranty is up, its getting a woods cam or the s n s 475 cam and Im fine with this choice, I want to try something a bit different here most are going with torque which i want to really do the power n report back the difference when ever I get my bike from the dealer n get to ride this season or next if road salt or brine doesnt get rinsed off by rain, dry clear road in winter I have been known to ride all year when able too

    I just put D&D exhaust, 2 tuners and the power cam on my 2021 CVO Street Glide. My HD dealership said they had no option other than the power cam since CVOs didn't have a tune for the Torque Cam. My bike sounds amazing. The power actually starts kicking in about 2300 RPMs so it isn't just on the top end but there is big gains the higher it goes. Overall, I am happy with the sound and upgraded power. I cannot tell you if it is exhaust that really makes the difference, but they work well together.

      @@paulg5835 I think If you ride enough before the cam change, you'll notice it more. I had less than 700 miles on but yes, I did notice the difference. I rarely downshift to pass someone unless I'm under probably 1600 rpm in any gear. My gas mileage was only affected for a few rides..I liked snapping throttle and feeling the extra torque. I still like the feel, I just don't play with it as much. Gas mileage hasn't really changed much for me. Love the loping sound better than before the cam change. There's a difference and I love it! Cost was around $1100 @ HD. Peace of mind all under warranty. That all helped me make my decision a bit easier. Good luck with whatever you decide to do. Oh..and I also went with the black pushrod tubes instead of the chrome. Kind of a sleeper. No one has noticed the difference yet.. 😉

That's what I changed my mind to. Should be out of the shop tomorrow or Friday morning. I will let you know! I got the 4.5" Khromewerks mufflers, Screamin Eagle high intake breather (least expensive one, looks stock) and the Pro Street Tuner. I'll see how it goes. Hoping to kick it in the nutz a bit lol. The Stage 1 helped a lot from stock, but I wanted more! :) I ride 2-up frequently, and in Arizona, it's mountainous and constantly shifting sucks.

      You'll really appreciate that torque cam, especially where you're riding! I think you made a great choice, that torque cam gives up nothing to the power cam especially down low. Even on the top end the power cam barely, I mean maybe edges it out. The power cam might feel faster in the upper RPM range but it's not enough to write home about in my opinion.

    I have. ‘19 rgs 114. I went with the power cam. It has a shit ton of power and tq from idle to redline. It’s pretty fast for a Harley. I ride mostly two up. I debated heavily with the tq cam. Why I choose the power cam over the tq cam is the M8 seemed to fall flat around 3500 rpm. So the goal was to even out the power band without sacrificing too much low end. Seat of the pants, I didn’t lose anything on the low end. In fact I gained low end as well as it pulls hard to redline.

      I may just do the power cam since for my new experience the Ultra has a bit too much torque as it is, and scary if you make a throttle mistake at low speeds! Well the only graph out there in all cams I've seen start higher torque than stock, except the SE which , at least on the graph is lower tan stock. Since my main reason (well sound too) is passing power and I don';t mind downshifting at all it seems the Power Cam is what is at! Saw the cam video GixxerFoo has and did contact Customer cycle Rama, their 470 they have it as "coming in" at 2800 rpm, but I can't see any graph what is the starting torque right after idle which is my concern!

      @@jakeg3758 Hi Jake,
      Mine was 107, and I had the power cams fitted straight from the box when I bought it,
      however, I have tested both 114 & 107 as stock and the power cams give you a big boost the whole way through,
      2&3 gear granted have the most pull, 4&5 steady increase but still heaps of go if your sitting on the right RPM, 6 obviously perfect for cruise and I have never needed to down shift over taking as there is still plenty of throttle,

    According to Dyno records, the best cam from HD is the Torque cam. The power cam drops too much low end, but doesnt trade enough high end. IT only works for stage 4 builds.
    SE447 comes on early, and carries almost the whole way through, with a smart tune pro SE tuner setup.
    If im going for a cam upgrade though, I wouldnt go with the HD cam, simply because there's more power per dollar in aftermarket cams, and aftermarket tuners.
    Also if you're going to do a Cam upgrade, you need a high capasity cam Bearing, and new Lifters(Tappets). ALWAYS use brand new tappets when you put in a new cam. The tappets and Cam need to break in together.

    • @GixxerFoo
      @GixxerFoo  4 года назад

      Oh yeah no doubt aftermarket is the way to go unless your concerned about keeping your warranty. I agree with on the tappets, I've heard both ways on just swapping cam or swapping tappets and cam. Personally I would change the tappets with the cam.

    I have the extended warrantee on my M8 107 FXLR. I went with the dealer installed SE Torque cam, the hiflow metal intake manifold and auto tuner with the large oxygen sensors after I did the Stage 1 with the hiflow intake filter and SE Street Cannons. Ended up with 97.16 HP and 104.98 Torque. That was a bit disappointing but what surprised me was the Torque graph. It was about 95 at the bottom end and 85 at the top end with peak (104.98) at about 3400 rpm. That was pretty flat across the dyno graph!

    I called HD to ask specific questions about dealer installation and the effect on the warranty. Based on what I have read and heard, I was surprised to be told that having the dealer install a SE Stage 2 kit would not ensure warranty coverage on a later failure, if HD deemed the cause of the failure was the Stage 2 upgrade. According to the service person I spoke with at HD, the only way to ensure warranty coverage on any SE stage upgrade is to have it done within 60 days of purchasing the bike. I followed up and asked "To be clear, whether or not I install the SE Stage 2 kit, or an HD dealer installs it, there is no difference as to whether or not a future warranty claim might be denied due to the installation of a Stage upgrade.....Is that correct?" And there answer was "Yes, that is correct." At that point I asked....."Then why should an owner be concerned about only using HD parts versus after-market parts, or be concerned about having a dealer perform the work?". The service person responded that there is no 100% certainty to HD warranty claims beyond the 60 day window, on motorcycles that have been modified. HD will review every warranty claim, collect all of the facts, and make a determination. If they come to a conclusion that whatever was done to the bike outside of that 60 day window had an impact on the failure that prompted the warranty claim, they very possibly and likely will deny the warranty claim.......... There is a LOT of misunderstanding and misinformation on warranty provisions and claims. I would suggest all owners make themselves very familiar with the Magnuson-Moss Act. A good understanding of your rights will certainly help. However, if a warranty claim is denied, ultimately it could come down to whether or not the owner is willing to take legal action against a manufacturer, and thereby spend a LOT of time and money with the hopes of collecting on a warranty claim. Hope this is helpful.

    • @GixxerFoo
      @GixxerFoo  2 года назад +5

      Harley give you 1 year warranty all parts installed after 60 days of delivering. Getting all you upgrades done within 60 days is the only way to guarantee you warranty on the bike all the parts for 2 years or the extended warranty. Sadly a lot of times the dealer eats the cost to make it right with the customer if something happens. A dealer will make the repairs and send it to Harley, it may get denied and the customer never knows about it. That's what a good dealer does in a lot of cases.

      @@kellyhalteman4439 To be clear. I don't have a warranty claim, or a problem with my dealer. In reading through the HD warranty it was unclear as to whether or not having a dealer install the Stage 2 kit would absolutely be covered under the HD warranty. The answer is "No"......Unless you have the dealer install the kit within 60 days of purchasing the motorcycle, any upgrades are not absolutely covered under the HD warranty. Example......If the dealer installed the Stage 2 kit and later an engine problem developed, if HD determines the cause of the failure was attributed to the installation of the Stage 2 kit, outside of the 60 day window, then HD could, potentially deny the warranty claim to repair the engine........That is straight from a HD customer service rep at HD's corporate office in Milwaukee.

    Got a Triglide with a Rekluse clutch and a Pingle shifter . I have a stage I on it and If I go stage II it will be the power cam. I also have a Freewheeler and if I go up with that I will do a phase II power kit. The Triglide is for touring and uphill down hill and it hauls pretty good as it is with just a phase I. The extra Torque will be great. The engine is a 107. The FLRT is a 114 C.I. and it is pretty perky.

    You can't really go wrong either way; both are a substantial upgrade from stock and it would honestly probably be pretty hard to tell them apart by the seat of your pants. If I were riding back up in Portland where traffic moves at 55-60MPH, then it'd be torque cam all day every day. Down here in Phoenix, however, I feel like I'd actually lean toward the power cam. Traffic moves around 80 on city highways and 90+ on interstates. At those speeds on a 107, the torque cam will be starting to fall asleep and the power cam will just be waking up. Since I don't have any problems with how even a stock M8 makes power down low, I feel like having some extra breath while cruising so I can get around the knuckleheads down here would be more beneficial. Just depends on where you need power, I guess!

      The mods completely transformed the bike. I was most surprised about how I could really get on it. I’m not one that really wants to go into triple digits. At least not on my 700lb bike. The most fun is between 55-80. I’ve put about 6k on it since. It’s only appeared to get better. The exhaust is sublime. The last thousand miles…. I don’t know why or how but…..my bike was now roaring! It really is thrilling to ride now. I don’t go for apes or floorboards, I even ride with the sport fairing off. Everything is stock otherwise. Fits me perfectly. I even get a good 45 MPG!

    In my '18 FLRT Freewheeler TRIKE, with a Stage 1 kit? No brainer, dude; Stage 2 torque kit, all the way. The only time my trike has seen 5 grand, was when I missed a shift from 2nd to 3rd... If I run the thing on the road at anything over 3800 rpm, the mileage just... disappears. Well, what there is of it, anyway. I spent too many years, sucking my way from gas station to gas station in cars/trucks with big V8s, to want to do it again - on a cross country trip on the FLRT.

    @GixxerFoo I noticed that on the Harley cams they do not include an inner camshaft bearing like every other camshaft manufacturer. Is it because the Harley cams are not as radical as the aftermarket or is it because Harley Parts match up with Harley parts and the aftermarket cams want to make sure their cams are matched up with their bearings? I also noticed that I cant find an upgraded Screaming Eagle bearing for the M8 like you used to for the Twin Cam. Anyways I bought the Torque Cam kit for my 2017 Limited and am waiting for the time to install it and find out if a new inner cam bearing is required ?

    • @GixxerFoo
      @GixxerFoo  3 года назад +1

      Good question, it looks like the bearings don't come with the Stage 2 Kits on the M8. It shows it on the break down with the installation instructions and lists it as a service to part to be replaced if needed. I wouldn't chance it putting in a new cam with a used and go ahead and put some fresh bearing in.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but the OEM and the screamin eagle mufflers are not "catalized", but the cat is at the head pipe. And bad idea to only change the cam..that POS hd cam bearing should always be replaced with a quality bearing...i did and was my first major mod on a bike, also added the Se-447 torque cam, and also added the S&S cam plate & oil pump, cnc lifter cuffs, wood's lifters, and quickie push rods with a Power Vision tuner and custom tune..my first ride felt as I gained at least 12- 15hp, and 15lbs of torque..and was better behaved than stock at take off..only very slightly more noticeable valve train noise in my 2020 Road King..tomorrow I'll be able to check fuel mileage differences and high rpm and high speed mannors..but it seems totally happy with my existing catless head pipes and Vance & Hines 4.5 Titans and HD Breakout air box up to 75+ thus far. Exhaust with baffles installed is not annoying loud either. I also have a Wood's 22XE cam here to use, but I'm glad I choose to install the Se-447 instead..seems easy to tune, lots of predictable power off idle, feeling just as the published torque curve shape show's. Couldn't be happier thus far. I'll save the Wood's 22XE for my Street Glide stage 2 project coming up. From what I seen, the 22XE is great for both Torque and power gains too..also running on up about an extra 500-1k rpms over the Se-447 but might be more radical, and less mild on the valve springs (than the SE-447)..my remmendation is if you ride under 100mph, go the Wood's 22x or Se-447 with Power Vision, if you plan to take it past 100mph, go Wood's 22EX or comparable

    • @GixxerFoo
      @GixxerFoo  Год назад +1

      Only the touring bikes have the cat in the head pipe, everything else is in the mufflers. Now SE slip ons for touring bikes don't have cats, you get a full SE system and those mufflers do have the cats in them. The full SE system does eliminate the cat from the head pipe.

    Just picked up my brand new 23’ heritage 114 with the stage 2 power cam and 2-1 rinehart. I wasn’t worried about the numbers or needing to shift on the highway to pass, I was more concerned about how badly I needed to dog it by staying close to the mid range for break-in. I am absolute FLOORED by how much get up and go this bike has compared to the stock one I test rode. Perhaps for lots of 2up, get the TQ cam. But considering I’ve maybe broke 3k rpm’s after the short first 35 miles I rode today, I can’t even imagine what this thing is gonna feel like and how it’s going to sound when I can start opening it up

    • @GixxerFoo

      I personally prefer the torque cam for the fact that the top end it really doesn't give up much to the power cam at all. But it absolutely stomps the power cam in the low and mid range where you're typically going to spend most of your time riding on the street.

      The stage 3 is a great setup to with, it's a lot cheaper than the stage 4 and the 4 valve heads of teh M8 perform really well. The Stage 3 adds quite a bit to the bike in the RPM range you ride in, stage 4 adds more in that rpm range but cost a lot more. They do have a fix now for the sumping issue you mentioned, if you have it done at the dealer they should fix that for you while they are in the motor.

    • @GixxerFoo
      @GixxerFoo  2 года назад +1

      It depends which kit you go with, they have several now like the 114, 117 and now the 119 and 122 kits. The 114 and 117 kits use a higher lift cam which requires heavier valve springs. The 119 and 122 have more displacement but they essentially use the bolt in 447 cam which is less aggressive and does not require a valve spring change. The Stage 4 kits have more aggressive cams, use the CNC ported heads, larger throttle body and intake. Each Stage kit produces more than stock, but a stage 3 kit is the best bang for the buck. It makes just as much power and torque in the low to mid range as the stage 4 kit and it's a fraction of the cost. Now granted top end the stage 4 will make the most power, but you spend most time riding in the low to mid.

      Dyno tune will make a big difference, every engine is different even if they are identical.

A good dyno tune even on a stock bike can be 10 horse and torque swing up, you'll feel a difference.

      I would recommend an aftermarket cam like Wood, S&S or Feuling but if you want to stick with SE l would go the torque cam route. It exceeds or matches the power cam down low where you spend most of your time riding. You'll have the roll on passing power and honestly the torque cam doesn't give up much of anything on top to the power cam.

      It wouldn't hurt your highway cruising at all, it's just going to basically give you more power at any given RPM.
