A rock-solid combo is a Wood 6, bore to 98", Good* set of heads.
Your power will JUMP, dramatically, and may very well be smoother also.
Good exhaust and tune. Great combination.

Surprising no one asked you some basic questions first. Think about how you ride and what you want out of the cam in terms of tq - more low end, low to mid, mid to high... Do you ride 1up or 2up? How many miles are on your bike? Have you ever changed or checked the cam tensioners - you made need to consider that as well or gear drive or the newer HD hydraulic tensioner cam plate setup... Are you doing the work yourself? How much do you want to spend? Do you want lots of tq or a nice boost. The "right" cam alone will wake a 88" bike up nicely. And several cams will work great in a 88" and 95" motors. Also, be sure not to over cam or get mislead by high tq or hp numbers.
Not sayin to do this build. It just raises some good points and provide some info for you as you seem new to this cam stuff

If I were doing this I would recommend boring your 88 cylinders to a set of 95 pistons. I would run around 10.5.1 CR. I would suggest wood's TW6, 400, or 408 gear drive cams. I would also recommend changing the gearing in the primary. Get a good tuner and you should be good for 1 up, 2 up, or maybe even 3 up. Keep the wallet open because it's not going to be cheap. Just my 2cents.

I do agree that to get themost, headwork is where it is at, but a high lift cam is not a true necessity unless you are trying to wring the last hp outta the combination. There are many low to mediun lift cams out there that really do well - HQ 575 & 0034, Woods 6, Andrews 26, Zippers 575 and on and on. It is not neccessary to go beyond .600 lift IMO.

I've had the same sort of question. I ride stock 88 '05 Road Glide with power commander, screaming eagle air intake and V&H oval slip ons. I do a lot of 2 up riding, highway and mountain twisties. Have tour pack and usually carry a heavy load of luggage. I haven't noticed a lack of power but worry that I'm putting too much strain on the engine.
