Need Advice on upgrades

Ok, here is the deal. I have an 05 88 cu inch motor in a Wide Glide, I am not at the point where I can do the 95 inch kit. I can however swing cams and a carb. I am thinking of going with the Mikuni 42 and the dealership is recommending the Andrews 37B cams. Has anyone out there used this set up and if so what did you think of it.

So far I have changed to the high flow air cleaner, BSS pipes with quiet baffles. I am also thinking of changing up to the SE ignition module.

I am really looking for some advice on this before I spend the money. Maybe I should wait and do it all at one time, that is the 95 kit with heads and cams but, I don't know how soon that is going to be.

Thanks.

Another option is Head-Quarters 34s with the S&S gear drive kit.

these have a broader powerband over the S&S 510.

Did any of these people say what kind of problems were occurring? I have alway heard that the Andrews cams were supposed to be very good and I would like other info if they aren't. The service department at the dealership told me they had been having very good results with them and even recommended them over the HD SE cams.

This shouldn't have to be this difficult.................
