Depends... How do you ride the bike? What is your end goal?

There are so many to chose from you can get lost deciding.
I went with the HD SE255 cams in my 07 Ultra.
I liked it a lot. mpg went up and low end was really improved.
It is a touring bike so higher rpm's were not needed, it still pulled good to 4,200 and when it started to fade it was still more than the stock cams.

Ultimate goal is to pop the front wheel up and have more torque.

They have a pretty good comparison chart on their site.

To pop the front wheel up you will probably need more than just a cam upgrade. A well built 107 can get you there though.

A lot of folks have gone with Fuelmoto and had excellent results. Very good value with their 107 packages.
I went a similar route with a local independent, Andrew Rosa from NY. You can check my signature for details. I am very happy with the results. I gained over 40 Horse Power and 40 foot lbs of torque from my stock 96". Really makes the bike run like a beast when you twist the throttle hard. Fun fun fun.

Many cams out there besides "Woods".

Feuling makes all kinds of performance stuff for bikes, including cams.

S & S 551 easy start. They make a few performance things for bikes too.

Cyclerama 575 is the only cam they make.
That's how sure they are of their product!

Andrews makes a few products too.

My $0.02 worth.

Was running a 09 Police bike w/103. Stage One really woke it up! Loved it all! THEN came across a set of SE255's pulled from a new CVO 110 for $100. had them installed by the local Indy. WOW!!! MUCH MORE PULL!!! Really happy now, just waiting for good weather! May be next spring!

If you are addicted to H/P, wheelies, you need more cam. IF you what a great riding cam, find a set cheap and ride! They really ADD to a Stage 1.
