Default Good cams for a high comp bagger

Alright ladies and gents. I need a good cam for a 95" high compression motor. Right now I'm thinking about the SE211 cams but I'm getting ready to head to the dealership to order some parts with a nice discount and double dealership points (which really doesn't matter too much) but I want to make sure these cams will do the job. Everyone seems to have their own opinion or info. I just need some cams that are good for a bagger that's usually a solo rider and I want some low end torque. I'm not looking for much power at high RPM I don't need it.

Ss585 is a good one. Close specs to se211. 585 likes compression to get full effect. I've ran the 585 twice and been happy. But I wouldn't consider either of these cams low end tq

And if you go with the 585 Easy Start the hard starts go away caused by the compression.

After my trip to the nearest dealership I'm considering just going with a T-man 98" package. The larger dealership is a T-man dealer so hopefully they can work with me and do the work at a reasonable price. I'm going to give them a call tomorrow morning and see what kind of cams they recommend. Their stage 2 kits are in the 110-120hp area for $2100 in parts. Sounds like a pretty good deal to me.

I just hate when a dealership flips open the catalog and reads word for word what it says about the product... or is on the wrong page for your bike. Both happened to me today.
