96 tc bud get build
2007 softail duece wanting to build on a budget and build as I go with end result being cams 107 kit and heads or head work but for now planning on staying with stock heads with cosmetic gaskets with maybe some smoothing and polishing done. Looking for just cams now and really looking at the woods cams. I ride really aggressive solo but on occasion I ride 2 up wanting to have the best of both worlds being able to rip solo but not having a dog when I slow down and ride 2 up any advise would help I'm looking from the tw222 up to the tw777 cam decisions are hard and I need stuff that'll work alone and complement the build as I go

I had a similar build with my last bike and didn't know if I could afford headwork and bigger throttle body or not. I upgraded the 96 top end to 107 with the s&s 107 kit which uses cp domed pistons to set static comp at about 10.5. I used the s&s 585 ezy start cams as I didn't have acrs and the 585 would perform well for me now and with headwork later on. I didn't get headwork done but the bike ran extremely well with lots of torque. I'd happily do it again if in the same circumstances

The OP can run the 48 in the 96" but replace it with a different cam if/when he goes to 107". Who knows how long it will take for the OP to actually build the 107" motor........

I wouldn't use a mouse cam.. Bump the cr up to 10.3 - 10.5 and use the 555 or the 777. Find good tuners. Use a pipe that gives a broad power band.
And do it all at once.
