Head-Quarters HQ-0034 would be an excellent choice. Do a search and you will find many recommendations for them.

Here's a link to Big Boyz cam comparator that allows you to compare the specs on three cams at once:

In a 103", I would highly recommend the Woods TW-6..................great power from idle to redline. Headwork and a bump in compression will make it even better if you ever decide to go that route.

The exact same is true of the HQ-0034.

Keep in mind Steve, that you really can't compare your bike with 0034's to your bike with the 6's because you did not change "just cams". You changed the cams, the heads, AND bumped the compression.

I just noticed you said it was a S/E motor. I assume this is 95" in your 04, right?

It has S/E heads already too, right?

If that is the case, I believe the HQ-0039 is often used as a bolt-in on these bikes. I suggest you give Doug @ HQ a call... he'll help ya get it properly setup..... http://www.head-quarters-usa.com/ushome.html

You say you are doing other mods. The cams need to match your heads and compression. More compression will restore a lot of lost low end from longer duration cams. Too much compression and short duration cams don't work well. It's all gotta work together. S&S 510 work well in mild engines.
