I agree with hdfatboy. You are hinting at head work so drop a woods 6 in it and call it a day. With the 2 into 1 you are running and stock formation, the negligible loss in bottom is nothing. Set the compression at 10:1 when you get the head work done. The cam will grow with you when and if you go bigger. This is only my opinion and others will very!

Mild headwork? Valvejob and a having the ports flow a tad better I assume keeping the stock springs and valves? The 26g and don't look back. Short intake closing point, very low overlap and a wide LSA make for a really punchy cam off idle through the midrange with your 88". Plus it wont cost you an arm and a leg for the cam set itself. The 26g and mild head massaging will make a big difference in your ride.

I've heard the Andrews 26g is great for 88" motors, but is not great for going to 95". Is this the case? I am also trying to decide on cams and the 26 and woods tw-6g are on my shortlist. Am also considering the same cams but doing the chain drive versions.
Not trying to hijack, hopefully this helps Slack20 get his answers as well.

Be realistic on how you ride, the rpm range you ride in, and not just chasing tq and hp numbers at an rpm you rarely see.
In the link below, read the section titled "Reality Check". Not saying that you should do this build. Just has some good info and raises some interesting points.
