Lots of cam options out there and lots of opinions of what is best. The problem I found when asking a generic question like yours is the answers are subjective. What one person likes may not be what would work for my riding style and criteria I would need to make the bike run the best for my specific application(s).
What I ended up doing was establishing my own cam criteria needs. First, was to determine where in the RPM range I spent the majority of my time riding. Second, I looked at all of the cam manufacturers and determined what cams and cam part numbers fit my criteria. Third, I then searched the net for opinions on those exact cams. Remember though, opinions are still subjective and I took them all with a grain of salt. I was not going to allow anyone to make the determination on what cams to run for me.
I ended up with the cams I thought would best suit my needs, installed them, had the tune and dyno done and have been very happy with the results.
