Default Another Cam Thread

Ok guys I have searched and have found way too much information on this so I will try to ask you guys.

Here is what I have; 2008 Deluxe with V&H True Duals, and a Roland Sands open A/C and a PC V.

Here is what I want; a bolt in cam that pulls hard at take off but still allows me to hit 90 in 6th if needed. Now I would love to get a better lope sound out it too (maybe asking too much).

Most of my riding is on streets (45-60 MPH) and I can be aggressive but most of the time I'm pretty conservative. I ride solo and weigh 200 pounds at 6'2.

I have been looking at Andrews 26 and Woods TW222 and TW555. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Dave

Thanks Scott. I'm checking around for prices now but won't pull the trigger until the winter when a lot of the shops run some discounts.

Can't compete with the internet low-ball numbers, but then too, those folks don't spend their shop time providing answers to important questions asked by you folks either........
