Default Cam choice options

What's up all, wondering what would be a better choice for my stock 0.030 head gasket 103 build. Already have SE204 cams but was wondering with my current gearing of 30/70 sprockets and a FXSTC being light would a SE 211 with a 4 degree advance sprocket be a better choice? Also have the SE 1.725 rockers.

I wouldn't use 211's in an otherwise stock engine.

I would never swap the 204 for the 211 in a stock motor. Install the 1.7 ratio rockers with the 204s or look at the aftermarket for another cam set.

Andrews 54's would be my choice.

S&S .570, maybe the 4* to pull it over a tick.
