But nature doesn't work that way. You'll have to select a cam with a happy medium in mind. There are people on this forum who have the expertise to give you good guidance in selecting the right cam. Your research will pay off. Once selected, pretty much everything else will fall into place.
thank you all for your help, I guess I’m the one that wants more power 2 up riding. But I still don’t know what cam to go with! Again thank you all

Running 57's in a 2011 RKC 103. Cam upgrade in preRushmore 103's makes a big sop improvement. I ride 2up in the foothills and sierras and live 2300~2800 and run to 4500+. If you ride lower rpms, 48's. No need to replace header. Decat oem and call it good. Not having oversized baffles is best. 1.75"-2" Fullsac are proven performers. I have both. 2" sounded better but were wearing for both of us after several hours. Also, you may be better served replacing the Fuelpac with another tuner. Perhaps try the FP then decide.

Thank you all for your help, it sounds like the Andrews 48h is the way to go, I ride solo for the most part but I think the bike needs a little more power when riding 2 up. It couldn’t hurt to have more power ride solo either! Again thank you all
