Yes, you are able to run any cam designed for the Harley Twin Cam motor that is on the market. However, the results depend on your overall motor specifications.
Since I was not very clear in the Softail forum when you asked the same question, read the following link.

You can run a .580" lift cam in a TC88 from '05 and up but not earlier models; cam lift is limited to .510" by the early springs. The beehive springs introduced in the'05 model year will accommodate .580" lift.
You would be nuts to run a Woods 9 cam in a stock TC88; that will lower your compression and the TC88 heads are a bottleneck and don't flow well enough to take advantage of any higher lift cam. Best choice, IMHO for a stock TC88 is the S&S 509.

The 9 grind is for any size motor and is a very aggressive cam that requires at least 10.5:1 comp and really should have stage II heads at the minimum. Works great in Evo's just ask D_gyver......
