Hey Nippy-
I too am interested in a cam upgrade, although more low-end to mid range torque. From what I have gained from the forum, either S&S or Andrews is the way to go. Have you contacted either company to see what they recommend?

You need to check with Andrews and see what they say to use. I went with the 48H cams from them and one of the best changes I have made. The 48H cams make a lot of lowend power. They also keep on making power on up the RPM range. My MPG stayed the same. The other change was the 2 into 1 exhaust.

If you are not going to do any other motor work, you are limited to only a handful of cams. You are limited to .510 lift and your compression is too low for real performance. Definitely not going to find a mid to top end cam. More of low to mid range only.

I was thinking of this S&S cam for the 96 ci twin cam.

He's right! I have the Andrews 26H and they are good all around cams BUT Frogg (a Softail guy) has the 510" and his bike seems to haul the mail and sounds sweet too.
