looking to cam up.....need some knowledge

hey yall i bought a 07 road king custom a few months back..... not looking to spend the farm but im willing to pay for results. it needs more snap. when i jack on it, whats it gona take to get the front tire to get up (maybe i need more than cam work for that). ive heard alot talk about andrews 26 & 37 i ride solo pry 60% of the time the bike has v&h true duals and fuel pack on it now. i'd appreciate any scenarios, options, and feedback

I have the Andrews 26h, SE adjustable rods, Power Commander III (pre tuned by Fuel Moto)...Did install myself... WOW... snap and low end is nice...I ride solo 75% of d time. Very impressed...Similar results seemingly from SE255 and Woods cams...

SE 255's worked great with stock compression & heads in my 07, IMO. FYI, a Power Commander is a fuel manager similar to your V&H fuel pack.

I appreciate that is there other components to replace that maynot be strong enough to hang with the cam

You will want to change the cam bearings to SE/Timken/Torrington whatever. SE compensator is nice & 07's gearing leaves a bit to be desired. I changed out the clutch basket to fix that but there are less expensive ways to go about it.
