Default Tax time!

Gonna have a few extra bucks this year to spend on the bike. Think I'll go with new cams. Ride two up and pull a trailer often so gonna need something to give me grunt in the mid rpm range. Any suggestions? I"m leaning towards S&S or Andrews. Thanks

I have had SE255 in my last two bikes (already installed) and I don't hate them. I'm sure somewhat because I've never ridden anything but a big tourer that's 103 and 255 cams.

With these topics, the Andrews 57h seems to always come up. Do some reading.

Great power from 2,000 to 3,500 rpm's which is where I spend almost all of my time.

It's a 2009 FLHT, Arlen Ness big sucker, Supertrapp 2into1 and a Dynojet V. Leaning towards the S&S 551 or Andrews 48H. Probably can't go wrong with either one. Just wanted some real world input.
