RE: 26g cam
Been selling race car parts in some form or fashion for 30+ years, I've seen more people over-cam an engine than installing the correct camshaft for the application. Many install a camshaft that will work in their engine once they're done making all their mods and they never seem to get to the point where all the improvements are done. It's camshaft first, then all the other intake / exhaust, head work pieces to make it work later. Some bikers seem to get into the same thing. They fall into the trap of looking only at the peak output numbers and not paying attention to where the engine works in the real world.
I'd say if you're not going into the engine much more than just the 95" kit the 26G would be good. Depends a bit on your riding style but it would be a step up from your stock camshaft. From what I've heard the 37G likes a compression ratio increase. Try to find a reputable engine builder / tuner and ask some questions. Also check out the Andrews web site for their intended applications of the two camshafts.

RE: 26g cam
One more thing to consider, the same camshaft in a larger engine will act a bit more tame, the extra cubic inches will make the camshaft respond as if it's a bit less radical. So a 37G in a 88" will not act the same as it wouild in a 95" with everything else being equal.
