Default cam selection/ performance advice???

Hi,

Ive got the T-Max with Auto tune on my 2oo7 FXDWG along with Arlen Ness Big Sucker A/C and a D&D 2into1 FatCat exhaust system.
Ive Just returned from racetrack and got a best time of 13.6 Seconds down the 1/4 Mile.
What cam selection would you recommend that would compliment my current system/ combination, to help me better this time. (Was thinking of sticking with ThunderMax Cams by Red Shift)
and what other mod/ part selection would you recommend that will help on the track as well as the street?

Looking for any ideas

Cheers

I would look at Woods "night prowler" cams if your shooting for a magic number.

Im currently using Head-Quarters Firestorm cam and they make great torque from 2200 on up, pulls to around 5500.

In a light bike, like your dyna... Espically if ET's are what you're after, You might wanna consider a Head-Quarters package (http://www.head-quarters-usa.com/ushome.html) using their HQ-600 cam. You can't just bolt it in and get anywhere close to it's potential, you need more compression and some of their heads.

Additionally, "if" you really want to continue to hammer the bike on the drag strip, you should consider either getting your crank welded or replacing it with a better piece. Those units have a reputation for sissoring and drag-strip sytle starts do not help that scenario.
