Default What cam should I go with?

I have an 06 Street Bob all stock internals and I'm looking for a cam. I have a forcewinder intake, powercommander III and V&H Big Radius. My question is I've heard that the SE-255 cams fall off short, but they seem to have more lift than the Andrew's 37H cam. My question is I prefer a cam that is easily tuneable, a nice loopy sound at idle and lil more higher rpm grunt that what the SE-255 may produce, any suggestion or help guys???

There seems to be good things mentioned about the Andrews 54H.

You'll never get a "nice loopy sound at idle" with a late model FI twin cam.It's not a shovelhead.Longhairs suggestion is a good one, I prefer the 37 with the shorter stroke of the 06 88". The Woods 6-6 would be my choice if I do it again.

So the Woods or Andrews 54H are both bolt in cams? No head work, or springs required???

SC-Longhair, the 54H is designed for the 96 cubic engine, or will that fit the 88 as well?
