Andrews 48 is a fine choice. I agree, many options out there....

510s want more compression than stock 96 has. Andrews 48 is a good cam for 96 imho.

I have the 510G version on my 06 FLHTC, and the torque and power is great, was a noticeable change over stock. Here lately though I've heard some excellent feedback on the a Woods cams.

I had those in my 2005 flht. I think S&S list them as drop in cam. I also a can say they came in at about 2800 and carried from there to red line. Worked well crusing on hwy and in mountains doing 70 mph could roll on throttle and pulled nice. Went to 98in and put in S&S 583's
Check with S&S and see what they recommend for your bike they might help you decide by finding what you are looking for type of riding 1 or 2 up planning on doing more than cams ect.
