RE: cam installation
I have the Head-Quarters HQ-0034 cams and highly recommend them as a bolt in cam. If you do a search you will find many favorable recommendations for them.
You can check the specs at the HQ USA website:

Your performance may vary depending on the quality of tune and exhaust. My '04 EG makes about 80 hp and 90 tq--really woke-up my otherwise bone stock 88 with Rinehart TD's and SE a/c. I don't hot-rod the bike, but it iswas asfast as a buddy's 95", Big Boyz street ported heads, SE 203 cammed '02 RK--he bought a set of 0034's the week after that experience.

RE: cam installation
Andrews 21, 26, or 37 would be good choices, S&S 510 another good choice.
But, I would recommend the Woods TW-6............great power from idle to redline, and is very quiet in the motor.
If you do a 95" upgrade later on, the Woods will still be the cam to use as it only gets better with more displacement, compression, and headwork.

RE: cam installation
Steve is 120% correct on the 6 cam, and reccomendations with that grind. Trust me, I know those cams.
If you are going to stay with the 88" configuration, then I'd say the Andrews 26's.

RE: cam installation
Check the link, they have some good reccommendations for Dyno'd set ups based on bike and your style of riding. I like the Andrews 37g my self, looking to do that this winter when the US Govt $$$ STIMULATION Package has taken a lil interest...Buzz
