That's wide open...There are many cams available for the '07s now so the choices are whether you intend to up the compression (single most gain in power), do head work like porting, or where you want to go. Low end torque? A high winder? Different ways to go...

I am looking at a bit more for hp for my 07 fatty. Doug at HQ offered some good suggestions on cams that he has.

I also spoke to Pete at Zippers after getting a Tmax, and they are coming out with a 103 kit that is supposed to be pretty good;they are snail mailing info on latest greatest to me.

just my 2 cents worth.

We're using the RR525 and will be using the Andrews chain counter part soon. Better linear power and lots mor low end torque. The 525 is a bolt in cam designed to make a torque bike with little or no head work. The Andrews 54 will also be available from us soon for the chain drive 07's. The chain drive 07's are designed for the stock cam plate, the 525 will take a billet cam plate (which is a good idea any way). Hope this helps.

Hey man, thinking of 103 jugs with flat top pistons and a set of gear drive S&S 510G cams, what do you think.

If you want just cams, go with HQ 500 TC's. If you want cams and 103, go with HQ 575 TC's and 103" You will get the best bang for your buck if you do headwork also, but it doesn't sound like you want to go that far.
