What ever you do don't get too big a cam......
If you don't plan on doing anything but A/C pipes and fuel mgmt. Go with a Andrews 21 or 26 or woods equivalent...I have the 21 and it pulls fantastic...gives you lots of low end torque. 37 is a good cam but already a liitle hot unless you plan on doing head work etc. Most people over cam their engines...sounds great to put in a hot cam but if you don't have other mods to work with that cam your throwing away money and the bike can run worse......good luck.

Another option is the Headquarters 0034s. Great bolt in cam that produces the torque low in the rpm range. It is not necessary to go to gear drive on a stock bike if you dont mind opening up the cam chest every 25k miles or so to inspect the tensioners. Gear drive is nice, and usually bullet proof, but adds a lot of cost to a simple cam swap on a stock bike.

I couldn't be happier with the 590's, they hit hard early, and carry out nicely. At 2000 rpms it's just under 90ftlbs. and leaves a smooth curve to 108ftlbs. My head work does alot, but the 590's compliment very good!

So I will run with this myself as it too has the same LSA as a design I have and slightly longer duration................I actually wanted the TR600 but TMan dont have any available........................
I will try it out before making the descision to go to the 3.37`s or maybe run the 31 like yourself..............but I have a feeling it might produce a better fun factor with the driveline adjustment...........like the

S&S makes great gear driven cams.if you are going change cams you would be better off with gear drive. i put the 510's in mine . and they work great thru the power band. no head work needed. adj push rods is all you need.
