Default cam advice needed

i have a 96" dyna wide glide. 2010.
it has SE ventilator air filter with K+N filter,
and V+H big shots. also has SERT tuner, with map downloaded to suit the above.
i dont want to go bigger with CC, and im just looking for a cam change to give me more low/mid range oomph.
i do most of my riding in urban areas, with some motorway, dual carriage way riding. on a run, generally keep it pegged to 80 mph.
so, for those of you that are clued up on these things, what cam should i fit,
or is it of no real use for what im after???
would a gearing change be more beneficial??
many thanks for your help.

Off hand, I would say Woods TW-222 or S&S 583

The se255 cam will give you a good low end to mid boost.

I will be doing cams in my 2011 superglide next year and the dyno tech told me to go with se 204 cams and adjustable pushrods,he said they are an under rated cam and would produce a nice mid range boost,he said I wouldn't be disapointed

Fuelmoto is busy testing the new TW-222, they claimed low/mid range TQ/HP, I would wait a bit until they dyno a few and get some results. I can't wait so I ordered the TW-555 for my stock 96, stay tuned!

I've had SE 204 cams and they're not bad at all, very nice cam set up indeed!
