Default Best Cam to Benefit Current Dyno Sheet

I am looking for input from the cam gurus. My current Dyno sheet is attached. 2013 Fatbob 103, SE intake, SE tuner, V&H 2-1 Competition Series. What cams would best accent my current torque band?

If it's torque you're looking for try Andrews 48's. Great torque cams.
Search the web for dyno runs with the 48's. I tried to post a link to another forum, but apparently that's not allowed.

While I don't have experience with motorcycle cams I'd recommend you contact Comp Cams that will custom grind any cam based upon your engine at no extra charge. They already produce Evo cams for Harley Davidson.

I have used Comp Cams for automotive race engines and their expertise is unmatched IMHO. You tell them what you have and they will provide the correct cam for your individual application.

If you do contact them then I'd like to hear how everything turns out.

I think it will be hard to get a lot of torque out of those pipes. They will most likely show a big torque dip in the lower rpms then at about 3000 to 3500 tq and hp will look better. So do you want to pick cams to compliment the pipes or pick cams that try to overcome the pipes?

I'll agree on the exhaust, you'd be better with a black 2-n-1 like a fat-cat or a good rush exhaust. On the cam side if you have a 103 engine put a Andrews 57 in there and watch the tq climb.

Here's my dyno run after tuning with 48's in a 96" engine, intake, and V&H slipons on my stock headers. Nice drivability with these cams.

I have to agree. Those pipes aren't going to help your torque curve much.
