Default Easy Start Cams - 585 or 625

I had a cam chain tensioner come apart over the weekend. While I'm inside the cam chest cleaning out the bits and pieces I'm thinking about changing the cams to the S&S East Starts. Motor has had some work - heads, valves and springs and has 10:1 compression and has been hard to start . Would like to still be around 100/100 with desent mpg. Looking for some recommendations or opinions between the 585's and the 625.

Thanks
BBB

You won't be disappointed with the Easy Start cams. You might give S&S a call for a recommendation, but if I remember their cam specs the 585 might just be your ticket. I really like the way my bike starts with the Easy Start cams, and it seems to make real decent power too.
