For a stock 88" motor with no other mods go with an Andrews 21. Too much cam in a stock bike is going to hurt performance.

I've got S&S 510's in my carbed 02 S/S. The power is right where I want it in the upper end and I get compliments all the time on how it sounds.

You've got to keep the lift at .510" or less with stock heads.
