Cam question

I currently have the SE-211 cam in my FLHTCUI and doing a Dave Mackie Engineering 95" build.
If I am reading everything on the charts the 211 fits in between his 510 and 590? I am not looking to set the Senior National Bagger Speed Championship record. Just a good steady pull...
What say you fellow motor guru's?
Am I reading the charts correctly?
Thanks

I had DME 575's in a 103" , if I was you I'd go with his 590's for your application. You will probably pick up some tq over the 211's. Plus my guess is his head work will be matched better with his cams that he knows what they like. Definitely need to check piston to valve clearance at tdc though. Dave is a pretty good guy.

Call DME and talk through what you want of your bike, then use the cams he recommends. That will get you the best performsnce from your investment and his hard work.
