Default Which cams for the 2007 FatBoy?

I have dealer installed Stage 1kit that includes; Vance & Hines Big Shots, High flow Air Cleaner and re-mapp.
Anysuggestions for some cams? I would like to get a little more power off the line. Top end is not that important.

Cheers

Default RE: Which cams for the 2007 FatBoy?

Just got some snail mail package from Zipper's Performance . They have Red Shift cams that are supposed to offer good low and mid 2,000 rpm to 4,000 rpm

This is what John at Zippers e-mailed to me
"The winning combination for the 2007 96" H-D engine is as follows; Thunder Max with closed loop, Hi-flow filter for your SE A/C #117-296=$62.95, D&D Fat cat with standard baffle, Zippers 575 Red Shift bolt in camshafts and Adjustable pushrods.
This combination has produced up to 96.8 FT.LBS. of Torque and over 90 HP! Without taking the cylinders or heads off! This kitis on our web site."

I have a ThunderMax in my 2007 Fatty so thinking of going with the bolt in cam. Fat cat is supposed to be great exhaust ( have V&H BSS currently) - maybe will go FC pipe and then swap AC.

Regrards,

According to Zipper's site the 575 cams are intended for the CVO 103" engines. Looking at the specs, it's definitely a top end cam, making power from 3500 on up. Doesn't look to me like it's what you want. Something with an early intake close, like the Andrews TW21 or TW26 will improve your lower rpm power. Any aftermarket cams will be better on the top than the stock cams, but most will kill the bottom end.

Does this mean I can go back to doing my Hayabusa style wheelstands off the lights on my fatboy? How much would that cost all up and fitted?
