Red Shift 468 Cam Kit Installation Video w/ TAB Performance Full System 

No problem, we appreciate the feedback. It is always nice to hear when something you put time into helps a fellow rider.

Glad to hear we could help :)

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you.

Gerald Paul - 100%. In my early 20s I took apart an old .22 rifle that I inherited and it seemed simple enough.... soaked the parts in cleaner for a few days and then set them out to dry and prepare to reassemble but it seemed like the parts multiplied like little bunnies, so many tiny parts and difficulty finding diagrams online of this antique rifle..... ended up selling the stock, barrel, receiver and all of the parts in ziplock bags at a garage sale. Main lesson I learned..... detailed photos throughout the entire process will help you keep track of what goes where.

I understand the comment and it is great for our customers, we like to do videos on the products we have available so we just showed the kit with the cam, but agree with your point. If we were doing a build we would do the same while it is apart.

I would have too but they rarely if ever go bad anyway, its just peace of minc, most harley mechanics never had a orginal one go bad though when you ask them

Thanks 👍

To be honest, we split the videos just to show people, we actually have the HP+ kit in ours which you can see in another video. I don't think it would be required as we ran the way in this video for quite a while without issue, but for longevity I think its a worthy upgrade after doing both.

@@TABPerformance thank You for Your honest reply.

Glad to help

Red loctite on the cam shaft bolt and pinion bolt. Blue loctite on everything else

If you're on top dead center you shouldn't have to wait. You can spin the push rods to check if they spin there's no pressure so you're good to cut them.

@@TABPerformance thank you.

To be honest, I don't remember exactly who those were. Just a brand carried by westend motorsports that we picked up and tossed on there. They have worked out well though.

I believe you are referring to the piston ring pliers www.summitracing.com/parts/lil-33500?seid=srese1&gclid=CjwKCAjwvOHzBRBoEiwA48i6AooFtLvEqXpSYfFuOq2ojVRIA7L35NXUNu75Qaz6YrSAGQ7kCFH9ExoCbOEQAvD_BwE

Thanks

Hello, I would plan for most of a day. We took about 8 hours to complete but that is with video and daily work day interruptions. You could probably knock it out in 5 if you were focused on it by itself with normal tools.

We like the 2 into 2 headers for more of the true dual sound along with the RS468 cams for 107s and 472 if running a 114 or 117

It won't be really soon as we are tied up on other projects, but it is certainly on the list. The bike runs awesome after the upgrades and pulls very well throughout. I know that isn't super technical though and we will be working on getting some of that information together as we move forward.

Thats what I came to see also

This one is pretty good. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bqr-eZm10SE.html

We have another video covering the pump, this is just the install video for what comes in the kit.

We used the Jims tool and a spec for depth, but another good way to make it easy is to measure depth before and put the new cam bearing into that depth.

@@TABPerformance Thanks dude. :) Just to add, I've now watched a third vid on this (Cam change on M8) and he says to bottom the bearing in its hole same as on a TC jobby. :)

@@Panzerlang there is no bottom to the bearing hole. It’s straight through to the crank. Has to be set right depth

I don't have a chart at 1,800 and most charts drop off substantially at that point as they aren't really logging until higher in the RPM so when it starts to really fall off and get squirrely on the chart that is just noise and not anything that is actual. I can tell you from riding the bike pre and post install the 468 cam is not worse on torque at that stage of RPM.

@@TABPerformance Great to read! But can you say its stronger around 1800 compared to stock.? Trying to figure put wether the cam will be Worthy an upgrade or not. Surely I ride up to 2400-2600 sometimes but mostly its city riding, hence bottom end torque favors.

From the seat of the pants dyno, I do feel like it has more power all the way through. I don't have a chart for that, but it seems to pull stronger from the jump.

Jim, good catch, that was a mispeak. It is actually .1 for half the difference, so anyone else watching this, use the 4 turns as stated in the video do not try to go .001 (which is essentially nothing)

Yes, the Right Hand Muffler is a larger OD so different clamp.

No it is not necessary for just the cam kit, but while the cam chest is open it is easiest to do together if you are going to do both.

It was a full day, but that is very tough to figure true install time when you are also filming and editing along the way. Usually install is about half of a video install.

We did not upgrade the injectors if that is what you are asking. We did however use the powervision to have a tune made specific for the bike and had to have a specific map made for AFR and timing etc.

There is a progressive table on this but the bottom right so 96 Celsius and 25 seconds on is 900.

The 468 is a proven cam and it’s what most shops recommend near me. Zippers has been around along time and they did a great job. If you plan on going 124 or 128 it’s not for you. But bang for your buck, AC, Zippers 468, and Thundermax Tuner for 107’s and 114 you can’t beat it. It doesn’t have that twin cam sound but I still haven’t heard any M8 sound like a twin cam. Go get it!

You can on the newer models that are past the sumping issues but when the chest is open we do recommend just upgrading them while you are in there.

They are great cam options from a great company that we know to be reputable and good with standing behind their product. I can't say its the best though, as they all have strengths that make whichever cam you choose unique. The part we love about RS cams is the rideability of the 468. It is just a good useable power curve, not coming on too late or too early.

Absolutely does. Only dealer installed SE parts within 60 days of purchase maintain warranty

Not a dumb question and absolutely yes you have to tune to do cam work.

@@TABPerformance Oil pump is not neccesary to switch on a 2020 Softail, since they upgraded the oil pumps. Right? My dealer has a Kit of RS468 without the pump and claims the above.

No. 1 way to do it.

We actually put on a dyno, but I've had customers use a canned map and have success.

Any Dyno numbers after you put this kit on??

102.5HP, 118.08 TQ that was on a 107

You will need to tune the bike. We use the Dynojet products that you can find on our site. You will need to have a performance shop tune the bike still.

@@TABPerformance Thank you for your answer. That was a great help to your choice. Good job.

We used the Zippers redshift 468 cam for this bike. www.tabperformance.com/product-p/red-shift-cam-kit.htm

Redline assembly lube is what we used.

It depends on motorwork, but bone stock other than exhaust it is not too much louder, but the note gets deeper. It is louder for sure, but until you put in aftermarket cams it doesn't get crazy loud on the M8s.

@@TABPerformance thanks for your response so I am thinking about getting a torque cam and tab slipons with zombie baffle because they say complete exhaust voids warranty but imnot sure i care about warranty :)

I hear yah, that is always a tough decision for sure. I would say that a good torque cam and proper tune is going to void warranty anyway unless you stay with the Screaming Eagle stuff from H-D which being compliant will make it less effective. Still good product and if keeping warranty in tact is important then thats a good choice. If you think you might void warranty anyway by going to a full exhaust doing up front would allow you to get a better cam from jump and closer to what you are hoping to get from your bike. Just a little insight from what we've seen customers do, no right answer.

@@TABPerformance they talked me into get stage 4 kit to keep warranty intact but received crappy service after giving them my money ... I will be taking my bike somewhere else but I am happy with the sound so far

Glad to hear you are happy with the sound, sorry to hear you did not receive good service on the build side of things. Let us know if we can help in any way.

There is a link in the description to the product listing with pricing details etc.
