Default Cam Suggestions for TC95 in an FLH

I'm starting a 95" build for my 03 FLH, I'm probably going to run stock 88 heads for now. I would like something very streetable and with good all around power. Any suggestions??

Quite a few choices out there. I have the SE 203 and have no complaints.

Woods TW-6 is going to be hard to beat.

With Stock heads andrews 26 would be nice if you plan to keep it like that.

If head work is in the ticket for later a Wood's Tw6 would kick up the power significantly especially with the compression bump. You can install it now as well, just need a key.
If you plan headwork later, check out www.hillsidecycle.com

95 with stock heads, and a dresser. I think Andrews 26s.
. I am doing the heads and pistons to 9.3cr too on the 95 and am going with andrews 37;s but sometimes I think the 26s would give me all the useable power and what a delema. Don over and out>>> remember to much cam is to much cam.

The 37's are a great cam,But if you are doing your heads you should shoot for 9.8 to 1.Thats where the cams work the best.I think you will be surpised how good this cam performs,I was.

All good choices above. My personal choice would be the crane 300 If I was going gear drive or the SE 204 or the 26a if I never was going to do more mods. But I would run the Woods tw6 (not a 6H because it is a .590 lift and a stock head is about at its max limit at .570 and at that it still needs to be checked) with a 4* gear for now and when I get the heads worked and bump up the compression to 10:1, pull the gear. The cam I really wanted wanted wasn't offered unless I went gear drive and unlike some folks I like my chains.
