Default 120R Cam Upgrades

I've read that the hd lifters should be replaced and I've also read about people changing cams for a better touring friendly torque curve. So my question is if you were putting a 120r in your touring bike what would be a good cam to use and why?

Wood 9B is what we plug/play here when folks come in complaining of the low end MIA.
Snaps the low-mid right up quite dramatically.
S&S lifters are what we use also.

I'm currently running T-man 662-1g in my 120" with ported head and 10.8 cr. Current dyno shows 126hp/140tq. I have a set of 9bg on the shelf, would it be worth the change out and re-dyno tune?

Wouldn't think you'd need to do that.

Thanks Scott. Why is it so hard to be content with a great running bike?

140 ft/lbs is good steam in one of those.
