Default Looking to upgrade my 88ci Roadking custom

Hey brothers I am looking to do some motor work on my sled as the Ole girl is only and 88ci and all the other bikes I ride with are always leaving me in the dust.
Looking to start with a new SE cam tensioner and oil pump with a cam as well, just don't know what cam to use. Looking for any input as to what you guys are running and how it performs.
Thanks,
Scooter

Forgive me but what do you mean by 1.900 headwork?

Torque being the paramount need in that touring machine, we'd suggest yes, boring to 98", our Stage I or II Head, and the use of Andrews 26 cams, set at 9.65 cr, for example.
BIG torque rip off the bottom and mid range, just the ticket for a bike like yours.
