Default RE: Cam Upgrade 2006 FLHT with carb (not FI)

Hello,
I'm getting ready to change out my cam chain tensioners.
My 2006 FLHT has a SE intake and V&H Propipe (2 into 1).

Since my motor has a carb. are my cam options different from FI motors. I'm seeking recommendations for a mild cam.

Thanks,
Robert

[QUOTE=Quickrunner1;12699143]The bike is a 05 88TC RoadGlide, only mods are SE stage 1 aircleaner, Rienhart true duals, and a Power Commander 3. Reading my *** off on the subject and this is a list of some recomendations I have read. Also I am Not pulling heads or going gear drive or raising compresion, just going Cyco tensioner shoes, S&S quickie adjustable pushrod kit, new bearings and cams. From the list below what is best, 2up riding 1/3 of the time, dont need a 5500 rpm hot rod but want good power improvement and a cool idle.

HD/SE: 204 & 255
Andrews: 21, 26, & 48
S&S: 510 & 551[/QUOT

Andrews 21 or S & S .509.
