What would be an appropriate cam for a 2008 Ultra Classic 110 with heavy breather, D and D fat cat header and exhausts??

All depends on your style of riding. Early or late

Get the Genesis 577s from GMR Performance not too far from where you live, Keller. Get Steve there to dyno tune it, you will be happy! I have had him tune 2 different set ups for me and both times loved the tune.

Thanks for post. Have contacted GMR. Am leaning toward Cobra FI2000 turner because some articles saying dyno tuning too stressful on bikes and Cobra tunes continuously. What do you think?

I would get the Power Vision tuner from Fuel Moto and never look back. The PV tuner has sooo many advantages over something like the Cobra tuner, just spend some time investigating - piggyback, displaying ECM info, tune flashing, ability to dyno tune, etc, etc. Buying from Fuel Moto gets you great customer service and a preloaded map that will get you going, then do a few Autotunes to refine the map.

As far as dyno tuning, nothing is better than a dyno tune from a quality tuner. Sure the tuner will run the bike to max rpms but the motor was made to run to max rpms and has a safety buffer accounted into that. For a Stage 1 bike, probably could skip a dyno tune and just work with the map from Fuel Moto, but after adding cams, personally I would want a dyno tune especially if there were no more motor upgrades in the near future.

Added: Not sure if you do your own wrenching, but if you take your 110" bike to Steve at GMR Performance and let him install the 577s and a dyno tune using PV or even a SE Pro tuner, I think you would be shocked...
