Looking to get alittle bit more roll on power for my 07 night train. It has a stage 1 kit right now but im looking for something to give me more mid to high range power. I usually ride solo and higher in the gears.
I was looking at just doing a cam swap (thinking andrews 48 or woods 555) but now i am wondering if it would be better to just go with a FM 107 kit. Will a cam only swap be a noticeable upgrade or should I just go with the 107 kit the first time around? I would like to do the install myself, so im looking for suggestions or feedback on a direction to go.

There's no substitute for cubic inches. Add the Woods 999-6a @ 10.6:1... Yea you'll be glad you did... Don't forget the head work and throttle body upgrade........

S&S .570 EZ Starts, and bore to 107".
We have that, in kit form, using your cylinders.
