Default 09 sg, what cam?

my sg has arlen ness big sucker, klockwerks ss slipons,power commander 5, stock headpipes. i want to keep this set up but go with a different cam. just like to get a little more punch out of it in low and midrange and be able to hear that sound of a bike with the sound of a cam thats not stock.

There are alot of choices,se204,se 245,se 255,se 211,woods tw555,andrews 48 redshift 575.All are good choices.Look around for some dyno sheets and see what curves you like.Just my 2 cents.

I have a 2011 Road King Classic. After an incrediable amount of research, I went with the SE 204's. They are a wonderful low end torque cam. Plus, the "cam lope" at idle is awsome. I also have Reinhart True Duals and a Big Sucker. If you're going to go with aftermarket........Wood TW 555, the triple nickel.

After a great dyno, I'm at Max Power = 91.98 Max Torque = 106.46 Good luck.

I'm running S&S 510G cams in my 09 SG. Love 'em!

Call S&S and ask for their recommendation, because I've heard they may be recommending the 5151Gs for the 96 inch motors now.
