2 COMPLETELY different cams. one's all bottom end grunt, one's all top end horsepower.

^what spanners said. it all depends on what you want out of a cam change

Need to know what weight the bike is. I have the EV-27 in my Road King and have the EV-3 in my FXR. Both bikes really get it on, but if I was to switch them around they wouldn't work nearly as well. Also you need to consider the match up to the exhaust system you have. I went from a Thunder-Header 2:1 to a Super-Trapp 2:1 and it really brings the low end of the cam out on my King, very happy with it's performance now.
