I am in the process of putting a new CAM in my 2012 Ultra, it has a 102 motor. What I would like is a CAM that would offer power in my mid to upper range. We have a lot of 2 lane roads around here and when I go to pass I want to pass in a hurry. I have V&H pipes now which I love because they are not very lauwd till I wrap on it. Any suggestions of CAMS? Thanks.

In that touring machine, torque, torque, and more torque is the key.
A plug/play cam that'll be quite amazing for you, is a Wood 222, for example.

777 would be lazy without an increase in compression. A couple of other great options are the Andrews 57H and the TMan 555 Torqsters.
