Default Cam Help

I have been reading a lot of posts on the different setups and results riders have posted here. I keep seeing these 4 cams mentioned over and over and would like help explaining the differences. I am a rider on a 08 street glide that rides most of the miles between 2000-3000 rmps. Would like to have more power through this range and up to 4500 for passing. I have completed a big sucker air, V&H dresser duals and Reinhardt 3 1/2 slip ons. I have been impressed the with numbers Jamie posted for the woods 555 but have not read much on the Andrews 48H but with my limited knowledge it looks good to me. I have pasted the specs for the 4 cams below. Thanks in advance for any advice posted.

Cam
26H 11/35 226 .490 .138
26H 41/09 230 .490 .120

48H 13/29 222 .548 .153
48H 42/15 238 .548 .163

555 21/41 242 .555 .189
555 43/19 242 .555 .178

255 06/25 211 .550 .079
255 48/07 235 .550 .070

My 2 cents, If you are going to leave it a 96inch i would look at the andrews 37's. If you think you will do a bigbore down the road and can give up a little at the bottom end now, i would go with the woods 555's

As you can tell by my sig, I am running a Tman 590G cam setup. I absolutely love this setup and I am very happy with the power. Sure, it is a little lopey down low, but the darn thing does pull like a locomotive above 2200 RPM!

Tman offers other cams that aren't quite as radical as mine and I would check them out too. I just can't say enough about this guy and his products.

This is my .02 cents.

I've had 2 sets of Woods (tw-7h & 555's), SE 255's, and Thundermax 575's. They're all excellent cams but the Thundermax hit the hardest. Don't get caught up in the brand game, pick a cam that makes power in the band you want and you'll not be dissapointed! Just my .02!!

I have no complaints with the 255's looked for what you are looking for but I ride two up most of the time. Really impressed with what I got, it also improves the usage the tall gearing on these 08's. I am glad I made this economical and good choice for myself.

The 26H cams have made a noticeable power increase for me at mid to high range. They really woke up my king! Have been great for 2up riding.
