Default 103 cams

So I have had some noise issues with my 05 cvo fat boy. It has the factory 103 screamin eagle motor. So my mech. did adjustable push rods and lifters. did not help. Anyhow he recomended doing cam bearings as it is making a whiring sound from the cam chest. Ive decided im going to do the hydaulic plate upgrade. So since he will be in there any how I want to do a mild cam upgrade and be done with those as well. Wondering if any one knows what is factory in that bike and what the next "size"up would be.

I suggest you post in the Tech Engine section, where our engine gurus hang out, or perhaps the Softail section. That way you should get more hits and quicker results.
