Fuel Moto is proud to offer an exclusive series of high-performance camshafts from Ward Performance, a name synonymous with cutting-edge engineering and race-proven performance in the Harley-Davidson world. With a shared commitment to maximizing power and efficiency, Fuel Moto and Ward Performance deliver camshafts tailored for every Milwaukee Eight rider—from those chasing peak horsepower to those seeking effortless torque for everyday riding.
For over 30 years Ward performance has been CNC porting, developing and manufacturing components for racing and street motorcycles, they've also been involved in racing at the highest levels. Rick Ward offers his own line of custom camshafts for Harley Davidson Milwaukee-8 engines. Cams are available as "camshaft only" and we also offer packages that include camshaft, Fuel Moto adjustable pushrods, complete install kit, and you can also add lifters.
Choosing the right camshaft is one of the most important decisions when upgrading your M8 engine. It directly impacts power delivery, throttle response, and overall ride experience. With decades of experience in performance tuning and motorcycle racing, Ward Performance has developed a lineup of camshafts designed to meet the needs of both aggressive riders and those looking for refined, street-friendly performance.
For riders seeking maximum acceleration and high-rev power, the focus should be on the 5000-6500 RPM range. Most high-performance builds set the rev limiter around 6500-6800 RPM, ensuring that when shifting at the limit, the engine never drops below 5000 RPM—where peak power is crucial. If your goal is to have the fastest bike in the pack, this is the cam profile to consider.
However, for those who prioritize strong low-end pull and smooth roll-on power, a camshaft designed for the 2500-5000 RPM range is the ideal choice. This profile enhances throttle response and eliminates the need for frequent downshifting when passing, making for a more effortless and enjoyable ride.
For those wanting to build the ultimate engine package, Fuel Moto’s team is here to assist you in selecting the ideal combination of cams, pushrods, lifters, and kits that will optimize your engine's performance for the long haul.
Fuel Moto also offers a wide range of fuel maps that we’ve developed in-house on our dyno specifically for the Ward Performance cams, ensuring optimal performance and drivability. For those looking to take their upgrade further, we provide performance-proven complete packages that include the EFI tuning device, exhaust system, air cleaner, and the Ward Performance camshafts. Whether you're looking for a simple cam upgrade or a full performance overhaul, Fuel Moto is here to assist you in putting together a complete package that will exceed your horsepower and torque goals.
