Cam decision on street glide

I am debating on a winter project, cams are a serious contender. I have an 09 SG with 96" with stage 1 upgrade with no cat. I shift at 3k 90% of the time and rarely top out the bike. I have been looking at Woods TW-555 and TW-222. Which of these would work best for my application? I'm not a huge gearhead I just want to get a little more out of my bike. Not too big on doing huge engine builds due to reliability issues with stock transmission and clutch, etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TW 555 are not a good cam with stock compression on that 96.

I'm very happy with the 222's in my 96.

I used the SE255 cams and really like them. It woke up my 103 and no worries about the stock tranny.

tw 222 is a great cam for the stage 1 96 cu. the tw 555 likes a little more compression and is a little further up the rpm scale.

255 is a great cam out of the blocks. A plus it that one can pick up low mileage takeoffs for pretty cheap. Typically $150 or less. (I picked up a pair for $75 for my 96in 09)
