Talk to a good head man or a builder so you can match yer compression to the cam you choose. The 26 is a good cam for bottom and mid range.

Who's doing the work for you ?
&nbsp\\;
Check out the TW6 Woods cam
or call Bob Woods, he would be able to answer yer question

If your not doing anything else, its a good cam.....I&nbsp\\;just installed&nbsp\\;andrews TW21 cams on my trike and am very happy with them...lots more low end torque. 26g are supposed to be good on&nbsp\\;a lighter bike, torque curve starts just a little higher than the 21s.&nbsp\\;

I had a 26 on my Road king and was VERY dissapointed with it,&nbsp\\; Yes it was installed correctly and my Dyno Tuning was done correctly,&nbsp\\; I now have an S&amp\\;S 510g in my Heritage and it is a exactly what i was looking for.&nbsp\\; If you really want to "FEEL" the cam,&nbsp\\; then the s&amp\\;s is the way to go.&nbsp\\; Otherwise I basically though I wasted my money on the andrews 26.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; Now the 37G would be a good choice also!
