Default cam help

I have a 01 Road King. I was planning on changing the cam bearings. Started thinking while Im in there to changes cams. I was looking at the andrews 26 cam. My problem is the engine is stock for now but has a stage 1 air cleaner and free flowing exhaust. I do plan on building a pretty mild 95" later on. Maybe a compression ratio around 10 and port the heads. Would this cam work on both engines?

Is your bike fuel injected?

Yes, the 26s will work well with 88 or 95 inches and a little compression. Let the experts (not me) tell you what your ideal compression might be.
