Default Woods TW-777 or Andrews 57H cams? 103

I just bought a new 2014 Breakout and am waiting for my Bassani Road Rage 2-1 exhaust, Renegade air cleaner, and SE tuner to come in for install. I figured as long as I'm going to have my exhaust off and having a dyno done, why not have the cams done now. My mechanical experience is zero, but from what I've read and what my expectations are, It looks like the best cams for what I want are the Woods TW-777 or the Andrews 57H. I primarily ride solo, with the occasional two up. I ride about 50/50 around town and open highway. I weigh 215 lbs. I want low to mid-range torque with the longest range. I am hoping to get around 100/110 . Also, does a dyno properly break in an engine so I don't have to abide by normal Harley break-in procedure Thanks for any help or advice!

iirc the 777 need higher compression while the 57 run fine on stock compression. I have the 57 on my workbench waiting for me to install. Get new tappets while you are in there.

In another thread I posted in the Softail forums a member posted this about the Andrews 57H "Recent print ads for the 57 show and recommend a 30 tooth front pulley..........". Is this true. I'm very confused on whether or not to do a cam now. I just want a bolt in cam. I don't want to have to be upgrading other stuff.

You don't have to change your gearing with the 57. You should have some very knowledgeable builders chiming in, probably in the morning. They coaxed me through my times of uncertainty and lack of knowledge. If you buy a cam that fits your riding style, you will be more than happy.

What about the Andrews 48? They get great results and seem to be amazing as just a cam upgrade.

I'm open to any cam to be honest. Problem is, I don't have mechanical knowledge and there seems be a good, better, and best, but I have no idea which it is. The more I seem to research, the more confused I am. I just want good sound, good low to mid-range power for the longest duration.

You won't be able to reach 100/110 without some headwork. Low 90's/100 maybe.

Not trying to hijack a thread but what did you do to your wide glide to reach those numbers?

That's fine and acceptable. I don't want head work. Just a cam.
