Great work, Jamie. I recently bought and am waiting on the new 555. Consulting with a highly respected shop, they advised me to go with the 4* advance, as the 555 wants even more compression than the 6-6 (10.4-10.5 vs. 10.2). Could I talk you into putting in the 4* advance with the 555, as well? Thanks again.

Jamie, Did you touch the timing on the full dyno tune vs the Auto Tune to help get better numbers? Thank you for your hard work and great info. You set the bar high in comparision to your competitors.
 
As far as the dyno numbers they are pretty comparable to other TW6-6 installs/dyno tunes that we have done which yes are higher than some of the 103" builds that come thru here, however cams and exhaust play into the equasion greatly and we have seen some pretty awesome 103's. As far as additional testing this week we will be testing the TW-555, I decided not going to test the +4 gear with it as I feel the results from it are very predictable as the TW-555 is very similar to the TW6-6. There is only a difference of an additional .045 lift and 2 degrees duration intake/exhaust between these 2 cams.

As far as running the tests with the stock head pipe, I would expect to see a difference of at least 5-7 Hp/6-8Tq between the stock 2010 head pipe and the Jackpot 2/1/2 with a good set of mufflers. We did not include the stock head pipe as most will swap this out before a cam swap.

As far as the dyno tune I go thru every available cell in the fuel and igntion tables with a combination of steady state and sweep tests using a combination of strategies using the Dynojet Tuning Link software, PC-V Control center, and other datalogging software. The slighly better numbers from the dyno tune are due to the fine tuning in the map of both fuel and igntion timing. To answer the question specifically on the difference in igntion timing between the Auto Tune map and the dyno tuned map, in yesterdays example there were some changes in igntion timing between them however nothing signifigant. The base timing table in our TW6-6 cam map works very well, it was devloped on the dyno previously and we have not needed to vary from it greatly in most TW6-6 applications.
 
Auto-Tune will tune from any map as long as the bike will run on it, even one that's completely zeroed, so the starting map is relevant only in how long it takes for the tune to be consummated. OTOH T'Max, which is another AT tuner using the same wide-band O2 sensors, appears to be limited in the range from which it can tune, and a close map is necessary in auto-tuning those. For some reason PCV-AT isn't finicky at all and the only criterion is that the map must only allow the bike to run long enough to write accurate trims.
 
Jamie,

A local independent, that runs Woods cams, recommends changing the valve springs when installing the TW6-6. He claims the stock springs will not last with the TW6-6 cams. Do you agree or do you have any comments on this.

I agree with your shop's suggestion that either Wood cam needs more compression than stock to work optimally, and I believe that although the TW6-6 cams produce nice peak-HP numbers in a stock TC96 they are still weak in the low-end for my taste. Even given the less-than-ideal conditions for these dyno runs, I personally don't like the TQ curve below 2800 RPM and wouldn't want to sacrifice the low-end to this extent, so if I were to go with these cams I would want to bump compression up to at least 10:1. OTOH I think they would fit better with a stock 103 with
