Default Which way should I go (cam question)

I'm going to install gear drive cams in my 05 Road Glide. I'm thinking of going with the Andrews set up but I don't know if I should go with the 26G or 37G cams. The 26G torque range is advertised at 1800-5200 RPM(I don't ride my bike around at anything less that 2000 RPM) and the 37G is advertised torque range is between 2200-5600. I have a 95" with flat tops and stock compression, stock heads and Rinehart true duels. I ride most of the time solo.
Right now I have a set of SE 203 cams installed and the bike does pretty good for a heavy pig. I just want to get rid of those cam chains and tensioner's and the problems that go with them. I have 28000 on the bike now and I want to accomplish the timing chest inspection before I ride it again and if I'm going through the trouble of opening it up to accomplish the inspection,those chains gotta go.
Any other bagger riders out there that have gone through this same thing please pipe in with your experience.

Thanks

Sub... Its been a while... Hope all is well.

I've used both of those cams (26's many times) in my own bikes and on builds for friends. Without increased compression the 37 will not be very good - they also like head work and ideally lighter (not Baggers) bikes.

If I were you, I'd consider the HQ-0034. It is as strong as the 26 down low, yet it peaks higher and does not fall off so early. Its also happy with increased compression if you were to do something else later.

Thanks PhilM, I didn't even think about that one.
Every think is fine on this end, thanks for asking. I was getting a little bored with the forum and needed a little brake, you know what they say,"If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all".
