Default Cam Specs for '14 Rushmore Motor

I'm disappointed with the low/mid range torque on my '14 Ultra Limited. I'd like to install a larger cam. However, the stock cam specs are not easy to find. I don't want to install a SE253 only to find out the the stock cam is basically a SE253. The rushmore motors make slightly more power than the previous 103's. Some of this might be cam.


Any ideas on what cams provide good bang for the buck on the Rushmore 103 without giving up low end performance? I'm not a redline shifter, 5K is about it for me most of the time.

Don't have the exact specs in front of me but as I recall it was somewhere around 520 lift, but by all means do not use a 253 cam in that bike. T-man torquester would be my first choice but keep in mind you do have a tad more compression with the rushmore 103
