Default Cam for 1994 Heritage

I'd like to get some thoughts and hopefully some suggestions in reference as to what cam I should consider.
I have a 1994 Heritage. I've had the frame stretched a bit to fit me. I'm 6'5" and weigh about 275. Currently, my engine is stock and pulls me around OK.
However, I would like for it to get me going in traffic a bit quicker. By no means do I want or need a hot rod, I'm 71 years old now.
Just something to get me going a bit better especially on the interstate.
Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thxs,
RD

Been awhile, but one of the most popular cams for the EVO Softails back in the day was the Andrews EV27 cam.....

I believe I went with an EV23 cam in my old EVO Heritage... I was looking for a torque cam that came on quick. I believe the EV23 comes on earlier than the EV27, but it was a long time ago.... I remember people trying to push me into the EV27 for "better performance"... but I'd be lying if I said I remember the debate about the differences in the two of them...

I am much smaller than you, 5'8" 185lbs, and I remember that cam really seemed to wake that EVO up for me.....

Others with better memories and/or more recent experience are sure to respond...
