Default Cams oem

Hello to everybody, i have a question related a tc88 efi. I had a worn cam to replace. Bike Is standard tuning, STD exh and filter, so no calibration needed. I see S&S does an oem cam replacement but i wonder if i put a quite similar degree not identical lets say more torquy would It work with no tuning? Thanks!

if you install cams that are different from OEM specs you're going to need a tune.

I'd reccomned just going ahead and putting in a good set of cams while you're in there and biting the bullet to have it tuned. It'll be worth it.
