To the OP: Based on your riding style, 3000 - 5000 rpm, the TW-222 is out. I have the TW-222 in my '12 RGC. Its a fun cam but not a top end cam.
I think you need at minimum the TW-555 and you'll love the TW-777. I have the TW-555 in my '10 Ultra. Its strong in the midrange and top end, but I'm running it with stock heads in my FM107. You'll want to bump your compression to about 10.25:1 to make the TW-555 really happy.
If you go TW-777, you'll want heads and a compression of 10.5:1. Based on what you said your riding style is, I think this is the set up that would make you the most happy. This set will pull like there is no tomorrow on the top end and be snappy on the bottom end (if you get the compression to 10.5:1).
Good luck.

Wow, you been coming to my rescue alot lately. Any regrets with that 777? I spoke to a few random guys on FB who bought the 777 from FM and all love it. But I'm curious if there's any down side to it?

Even had I not done the 30T pulley I still would've chosen this cam.

Andrews 57H
I'll put my $.02 in... I just had the 57H cams, V&H pro-pipe, S/E adj PR, SERT, and Dyno tune on the stock 103 on my 2013 Road King.
I couldn't be happier. I get great power through the range that I ride in and it's always there

So you would think. There's outside factors that can effect the "numbers" too I think. Like the actual weather, for example heat and humidity. And then how's the dyno set up?

I went with Andrews 37H and 4 degree advance based on the Motörhead friend. He tuned it up a couple times for flat spots and the smile has not left my face in a year. Pulls hard from 2500-4500 and I run high revs than most of my riding buddies. It will pass two up in 5th like a cat on fire. Idles nice and sounds like a harley.
