Default Cam swap to slightly less lift

Hello,

At present I have a Redshift which has 246 duration intake/exhaust
the intake duration is 240 and 256 exhaust .575 lift on duration and exhaust

I am at 9.8:1 compression

Was looking to have less top end and more low to mid so was looking at the

Headquarters TC 500 HC with intake 236 duration with .500 lift and exhaust 250 duration with 500 lift


Or to see if the 575 HC with intake 240 duration 575 lift exhaust 256 duration 530 lift
Would be a better stick than the redshift.

Would either of these cams move the torque to the left? I am making 91 HP and 100 Trq at present with Super stock heads by Baisley.

Still using stock gearing where a 30T pully might help.

Thanks,

Mark

the .575 cam will move to the left for sure, I run it and love it.

At just over 10.1 my bike starts pulling at 2200 RPM, feels really nice.
