Woods Cams are good. You should do a search. You'll have a lot to read when it comes to cams.

I like the 255's. Maybe the 260's would be more inline for your style of riding. Asking someone to pick cams for you, it has been said is something akin to asking someone to pick a wife for you. Give us more of an idea about what rpm range you want to feel the power, your riding style, if you ride two up a lot, how much money you have ect.

I have read here several threads about cams, there are many choices, find the brand of cam you like and call them and see what the recommend, or you could do a "SEARCH" here on this forum and read the same 23,952 different threads that talk about cams that everyone on here has seen come and go in the past few years.
