The first question you have to honestly answer is what kind of riding do you do. Are you usually solo or do you carry a passenger? How much gear do you usually carry? How heavy are you? How heavy is your passenger? What rpm does your engine spend the most time at? Do you ride a lot of steep inclines at high elevations?
The answers to these questions are what will determine the best cam for you and your bike. The reason is because there is no such thing as the absolute best cam for every possible situation. Every cam represents a compromise of some sort.
The thing to do is determine the cam that meets the requirements laid out on the aforementioned questions then select other components and modifications that will work with that particular cam in order to achieve synergy.
Evo's have been around so long that there is a vast knowledge base to draw from and their utter simplicity makes the work relatively inexpensive and very DIY friendly.

Gonna be lots of opinions on cams. I have a EV27 in my 97 flht and think it runs great, but have other mods to the carb, intake, and exhaust. I don't see how anyone could go wrong with it, but people will be chiming in soon to tell me that the power comes on too late and that there are better bolt in cams. Welcome to the madhouse
