Default What Cam

I have a 2009 Ultra and ready for a good cam. I want low power and rarely rev over 4500 RPM. My happy spot is on the highway at 75mph. Any suggestions.

07 can you tell the difference with the 48? The tech at Kutter HD recommended the 48 for my RGU, a few on here say it is matched better with the 96. I have a 12 RGU with the 103.

Just got my 48h's installed (09 SG 96") on this recommendation from Old Hippie (thanks mate) and the results have been spot on!
MY SG is the only one I have ridden with cams done, so I cant say how they perform compared to others as that would be naive of me, but what i will say is the 48h's improvement over stock is night and day.

I love my T-Man 555 Torqsters. Lots of bottom end power and a nice lope at idle.

I would recommend the SE204 or Andrews 48H or if you can afford it the TW222. All very similar, major difference the SE 204 has less lift at .508 and the others are near .555. Stock heads only need .500 lift, and over that is not much benefit.

I also like the S&S 551 easy start great for hot starts you don't need compression release it's build in the cam. 103ci 10.1 flat top, head work large valve, headers and programer make good power. did i say easy to start when hot.
