I have a 16 SGS 103 SE Street Cannons with de-catted head pipe and ventilator intake and was thing about changing cams. Just wanted to get some info. I do a lot of two up ridding. Trying to decide which cams to go with. I know the 222 comes in before the 555 but I can build off the 555 later

Thanks for any info.

After talking with Paul at Fuel Moto, I put the 555's (and S&S Oil Pump) in my '14 SGS with full decatted V&H exhaust system, Heavy Breather Air Cleaner, and the PV Tuner with a Dyno Tune by my local tuner. I too ride 2 up on this bike mostly and didn't really need the power off the line with my wife on the back, but I do like it on a hill with her on the back and need to pass a motorhome. I'm very happy with my setup and plan on leaving it just the way it is for as long as I own it anyhow!

4 cams that come to mind immediately that acomodate a Touring 103" in a plug and play application;
Wood 222
Wood 5-6
Andrews 48
CR .570
Wood 555 intake valve closing number, requires 10.35 compression to be fully effective.
Not trying to be a kill-joy, just a realist.

Thanks for the info. I love getting recommendations for stuff, then buying it, to find out later it's not really a good match for my setup......... cool.

Well, at least I like the way it runs now compared to before and if I ever need to do some upper end work later, I've already got some cams that will work and just have to build around them. Or are you suggesting that the stock pistons could take a hit because of the intake valves closing too soon and building too much compression? I'm not any kind of builder so I'm asking.

No.
The cam just needs the compression bumped up to be fully effective.
Take a peek on our company Facebook of a 107"/our Stage II Heads, we built recently using the clients existing 555's.

another option that may help is the 4 degree advance gear..this will close the intake valve sooner..holding more compression and bumping up the lower end rpm torque
