You may be better off with the TW26G in an 88". The TW37G works best at 9.7-9.8:1cr. The 26g will be a great cam for a basically stock motor. It will provide you with much better low/mid than the 37g. The 37G is a better cam for 95"-98" motors with head work. Have your heads street ported (BigBoys) and use the 26g and you will be a happy camper.
PS..Don't forget to have it tuned.

I would go with S&S 510G cams. This cam works very well on stock 88" motors, and if you ever decide to bore out you cylinders and do some head work later on down the road the S&S 510G will still be useable.

26G will also do very well in a 95"
