Default What cam to use ?

Iv got an 08 Rocker C 96"B looking for that loppy sound. I saw a youtube video here of a Rocker that sounded great.

If its only sound you're looking for, like the cams of yesteryear it will be hard to do with a new motor. The computer in the 08' models maintain 950 to 1000 RPM's. That won't give much of a lopping sound.

I went with the SE 211 cam in my 95" build and the lope and performance and sound I think you'll like. The only thing about the 211 cams is that they really work best in the mid to upper range. But, the cams are setup to run with a high compression engine, don't think the stock 96" would have enough. Might be a good enough reason to do a little extra engine work.

If I were running a stock 96", and only going to do cams for now, I'd go for the Wood TW6-6.
