whoa whoa whoa... there's a million cams out there, but you need to be more specific of what KIND of power you're trying to find. Do you want your power to come on straight out from the hole and keep it in the low-range (2500-3500rpm)? or do you want your power to come up higher and give you that kick in the *** when you're trying to pass someone on the highway (3500-4500)?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the 06 Train has a 96", right? Are you planning on opening it up to a 103" or higher?
and if it has an 88", are you planning on taking it to 95"/98"?
Do you plan on doing some headwork and changing your compression at all?
If you can answer those things, you can narrow down your choices a great deal.

With what you've given us so far, all of us could tell you what cams we have in our bike and whether we're happy with them or not. All that would tell you is if those cams in your bike would make us happy, not you. Cams are part of a performance recipe, and the important questions, asked above by Sgt Jim, are where in the RPM range do you want the power, and do you intend to stop with cams, or do you want head work, and/or a displacement increase, too? Oh, and is the bike injected or carb'd? Some cams work well with one and not the other.

Not to hijack the thread, but this has been in my mind as well and I didn't know where to begin with the many cam options.
I'm planning on soon getting an 03 Night Train with carb'd 88b motor.
Want to upgrade the cam to start, but would not mind taking it to a 95 at some point down the road. The tensioner or whatever will need changed at some point as well, from what I understand. It currently has 14,000 miles.
Thanks
