have a 2003 roadking with a 106 kit. Put the harley screaming eagle stroker in it and the new s&s 106 top end with Branch heads. Have Bob Woods 408 cams (650 lift), what Bob recommeded. Also have his new directional lifters, s&s roller rockers, and the red billet rocker arm support plates that gary williams makes for bob that move the pushrods inward to keep the pushrods from hittin the tubes and correct the geometry and a 55mm HPI throttlebody. Runs very well. 120hp and 121 tq. However at 50 mph it sounds like a little man is inside with a hammer. At 60 mph it gets worse. At 70 mph even with the stereo up it sounds like that little man is beating his way out of the heads. Is this the normal Bob Woods cam noise others talk about or is mine as I have discribed it worse.

Before you go chasing this issue , i would just throw a set of other cams in like ss 625 or something cheep if its quite you have answer , i had woods tw8g did every thing tried every lifter, did every shim , tried diff. spring rates no help , fast closing exhaust ramp speed is the issue, there are other cams that do have power and are not as loud, Tman has a bunch, i am not bashing woods because i still feel his cams hit the hardest , and i loved the TW8G , the TW9b seems to be quite enough for me , in my 116" but just save time anb money test another cam if its quite and has same or close to same lift and TDC lift you have your answer.
