There is no simple answer to a question like that! All the usual suspects make suitable cams. I posted a similar question a while ago and you may find the answers of interest.

I have been reviewing/researching/studying.....and for my ride style....I have decided on the Wood TW6-6 cams from FM along with the hydraulic cam tensioner plate upgrade w/pump from Herko and the SE adjustable pushrods.....Gonna be a little more $$$ than I originally planned, but since I'm going in there....might as well put what I want.
Research cams and TC88.....lots of info out there on the subject....match them with your style....

Only you can decide but good ones to consider would be Andrews 21's, 26's. 37's might not give enough low end for your preferences. SE 203's might be good and the 204's could be OK - I think they have some reasonable bottom end and are said to "lope" well. The Woods TW6-6 does seem to need more compression than standard to get the real benefits - I had these in my RKC on 96" and std compression (9.2 I think) and they felt flat until I did the bore and compression. With an 88" which I think is around 8.8 compression it might feel even flatter. Just my thoughts.

Like many others here, I've been very happy with the Head-Quarters HQ-0034 cams (the HQ 500 cams are the same ones, but for the '07 and newer models) for the past 3+ years, and haven't thought about a 95" BB since the cams were installed. The cam swap was excellent value for the $$$ spent.
I'd also suggest you do the SE hydraulic cam plate w/ hi-flo oil pump and ditch the spring loaded cam tensioners.
