Quite a few good cams for your 96", everyone has their favorite. My two favorites are Andrews 48 and Screamin Eagle 255. Another option is to simply change the gear ratio, there is a good sticky on that topic at the beginning of the Softail forum.
I just installed a screamin eagle 211 on a stk 88" with the the exception of my 2-1, open air filter and a s&s super e and after re-jetting the carb I love it. It's a mild cam and works well with a stk motor and a slightly built motor. My buddies 96" has one and rolls well along with a buddies built 95" that's making 105 whp.
in the process of putting andrews 57h cams in my 09 NT right now, already have d&d 2-1, derby sucker intake, PCV. 48 is a good mild cam, 57 is the "hot rod" for stock internal and head work according to andrews and my researchhhh

there is a 211 in my 05 Road king with a 95" kit maybe that will help this bike

Yep, what exactly do you mean by "low RPM's"? Dunno bout 6 grand but IMHO you really don't want to be upshifting beyond 2nd gear at less than 3000 rpm for sure. If you are, I'd try changing my riding style before going to cams. If you're a lugger, after you get your revs up, you may find your cam requirements are totally different from what you're thinking about now.
