SE 536 Cam Question

So I have been looking back and forth and back and forth between the N4 cams and the SE 536 cams.

i have an 09 1200 with V&H short shots, RSD intake and the HD Race tuner they dont sell anymore. When looking through the tuner program I have the stage 2 tune for the SE536 cams available.

should I buy the SE 536 cams and load that tune or go out and get the N4 then pay for dyno time?

what kind of gains or bhp, on average, will I see with the 536 vs the N4 cams?

everything I can find is from Hammer performance and they all show additional work done to get their numbers. I am gonna get head work at some point but for now.... 350 for cams and load my tune is sounding like a good option, right?

The SE .536 cams are quite likely to cause piston to valve contact on the exhaust side, when used with stock 1200 heads and pistons.

plenty of info on hammers 560 and 570 cams without ported heads. Hell, I think the 570 was designed for guys Like you that want to drop in cam for rubber mount 1200s. What information do you want? I’ll find it. No offense, the n4 is a great cam, but it was designed for 91-03 xl’s. A little outdated imho considering you have awesome factory heads compared to those days. Same thing with the 536s. I’ve ran both before, but years ago pre rubbermount days.
