98% riding is solo,30% city riding and 70% is country riding back roads and highway.Also im a road captin so i always have to be ahead of the leader in most runs.im not looking to race but but some pep.i guess im looking for a low torque cam.any info would be great.

I went with SE heads, pistons, and 211 cams on my FB. I haven't dynoed it, but seat the pants tells me it's good. I like it!

If you haven't done your big bore kit yet, you might give Black Hills Custom Parts in Rockaway NJ a call and ask them about their 95" setup with Mackie 510 gears. They did one not long ago with just a radius valve job on stock heads and .030" Cometic head gaskets. 103tq/90+hp (probably would have been more than 90 hp, but they stopped the run at 5000 rpm). They also do the dyno tuning there at their shop.
Just a suggestion.

Our 98" kits, with a little Wood 6, our Stage III Head, bored Delphi t/body, and a D&D Fatcat will show 110/110, SAE, as Brian, at T-Man has shown on their dyno.
