H-D Milwaukee-Eight® 107″ Camshaft Shootout

Harley-Davidson Milwaukee-Eight® 107 Camshaft Shootout

We tested SIX different bolt in camshafts back-to-back to provide an accurate comparison of results for the Harley-Davidson Milwaukee-Eight 107″ engine.

It was equipped with a Screamin’ Eagle Stage 1 air cleaner, Jackpot M8 2/1/2 head pipeS&S MK45 slip on mufflers, and each cam was fully tuned with the Dynojet Power Vision.

The following Milwaukee-Eight 107 Camshaft were part of this test:

The first dyno chart below has all six of the camshafts overlaid to show their respective torque and horsepower relative to this particular set of components. All of the camshafts in our test offered significant performance increases over that of the stock camshaft.
