Default Wich cams do you suggest?

I ride an 09 crossbones, i have se a/c, se 103 kit, se255 cams and se pro tuner and running v&h big radius exhaust with stock heads. I have had it dyno tuned to 89hp / 108tq. I am relatively happy with this set up but would like to see a lil more with a dif cam i think? I ride it really hard through all gears when solo and also do some two up riding. About 4 times a year i go on a 3000+km road trip wich i tow my leisure lite trailer and have been known to have it loaded to around 600lbs inc trailer but plus myself at 230lbs and would like to see a lil more power in 6th. The bike does great as long as i am going around 130km/hr but if not its a lil luggy and need to keep it in 5th. anyone have any suggestions on what to do to rectify.

Woods tw555... I am very Happy. Seem to come on a bit later but pull all the way to the top. 6th gear is now useable. And actually use 5th more than 6th and power is there... hit 98/94 on the dyno... and made a world of difference on my 96".... love my night prowler cams....

Andrews 54's are a good fit. They start to pull around 2500 and have a similar grind to the Woods TW555 but they don't modify the base circle and are a bit quieter.

Your torque is good but the HP is 10% to 12% to low. You are concerned about high rpm power is correct. Ask your dyno guy why don't I get move high rpm HPs? you should have 100 + Hp with this setup. Do you had the dyno sheets????
