cams only?
I have an 07 ultra with pipes and ac and a thunder max. Could I gain enough to make it worthwhile just upgrading the cams. Plan on going to 103 later but doing it a little at a time

RE: cams only?
Depends on how much of a gain is "enough" in your mind. If you have the T-Max w/ Autotune and are capable of doing the cam swap yourself, then the risk is low. There are several cams that would be options. If you can be more specific with what you are looking to get out of a cam swap, I'm sure some of the experts will jump in and make a recommendation.
All that said, you would probably be better off waiting until you can do the complete 103 kit.

I would throw in a Zippers Red Shift Cam, they wont make a gear driven cause the say the tolerances arent tight enough on the 07's but I have done several with a Red Shift and with the TMAX is wakes them right up.

Sugarbear: Unless you know what 95" or 103" build you are going to do (such as street port, full head porting, compression, etc.) it is probably better to save the $$$$ you would spend now, and buy the correct cams for your build.

Check out Donnylee's post here. He has attached the dyno chart after the cam upgrade.
I had a chance to ride this bike & can tell you the difference is huge.
