96" or 103"? Do you plan on boring and/or additional top end work down the road? Will the bike being soft in the lower rpm ranges bother you?

Lots of choices when it comes to cams. Nothing worse than buying and installing a set of cams and realizing down the road when you decide to do additional work that you should have gone in different direction. Just sayin'

Interesting topic...never got around to cammin mine, on the to do list. Runnin a 95ci fatboy with a stock 88ci cam and just the head works and stage 1. I'd be interested in y'alls input on what cam would compliment without changin jugs or havin the heads reworked. I could never get a straight answer from andrews, seemed like they wanted sell me more than just a cam...chuckles.
