Is there one manufacturer who absolutely makes cam better than all the other manufacturers? If so, who is it? Just doing research about building up my 96 to 107 when i can afford it. Thanks for all helpful info.

rhuff, what about T-Man Performance? Know anything about them?
T-Man (TR Reiser) has been in the HD performance business for more than 20 years. Go visit his website to see what he does. I have run two of T-Mans cams in one of my bikes but there are plenty of other cams to choose from, like S&S, Cyclerama, Andrews, Zippers, Woods, Fueling, etc. If you are planning to build a motor, get the plan together, examine your riding style to determine where you want to power band and build the motor around a cam that will deliver the power where you want it.
V-Thunder cams are a little easier on the valve train than Woods but Woods make better power and are ground by Andrews.. as said no real magic. How much power and where in the RPM range do you want it.. Most builders can develope a plan for you..
Terry, cams are only part of the build. We have HDF sponsors in here who can advise on a complete tuning package, including cams, to suit your pocket and performance needs. I believe Hillside are experts in using Woods cams, for example....
