Default Final cam question before intall

Having dyno'ed my bike on Monday to get a before run, It dyno'ed at 67HP (at first look I thought it said 65HP, I mention this because of another post where I stated the HP was 65) and 81 lb. ft. of tq. Equipped with Stage 1 air cleaner and SE slip ons and computer re-flash I was pleasantly surprised with the numbers. Anyway I have done a lot of web surfing for dyno sheets and it seems that my torque numbers are very good by comparison. Not the best but still very good. I've decided on the Andrews 26G cam. Question. As my torque number is already pretty good, should I still expect a nice gain in torque OR is my existing torque numbers, maxed out, so to speak. Opinions please.

I would guess you will pick up about 5 more horse and 5 more in the torque.

Be curious to see what you get after the install. I've got a similar set up and am also going with andrews 26.
