Default Cam recomendations

I have a stock 81FLH with hydraulic lifters and am thinking of replacing the stock pitted cam. I would like something with a little more get up in it. Its a big bike so I am mainly a cruiser but would like to accelerate a little faster getting onto the hiway. Any brands to stay away from. I like leineweber but have not heard back from them.
Thanks,
Dave

To be honest it may be my carb, its a mikuni but since the original cam shows signs of pitting I was thinking about a mild upgrade.
