If you are just doing a cam and no head work or increase in displacement a good bolt in cam would be the Woods Tw-6. You will pick up more torque, and will not need to do anything else other than have it tuned. A lot of guys will go to the HD 203, but I am not a fan of HD cams.

Dalton, That's just what I'm looking for is little more torque without getting into doing the heads. I'd like to get a little moreout of a stock motor without spending big $. Thanks
