Paul,
Man, get over to the tech forum on this question, really. I am not bashing the Dyna forum, but there are guys over on the tech forum who really know their $hit about cams and such. DALTON and the DOC are very knowledgeable, I guarantee it as I have gone down this path...
Dude, cams are a serious consideration, not so hard to install, but you need to consider all the lift/duration issues as well as whether or not to keep your stock push rods or go adjustable.
What bike do you have? are you going to go with a SERT or some other tuner after you install these cams? What about your valve springs? Look at the Dyno specs on similar bikes,etc, etc .. it gets a bit complex..
Not trying to discourage you, heck, I'm getting the Andrews 54H cams myownself as soon as I dig up the bread, Good Luck!
Start at www.nightrider.com and review what they say for cams for your bike.

RE: bit the bullet and....
yeah, sorry about the lack of info guys....
anyway, it's an 07 bob... and indeed, i did considerable research which is why i chose these cams... also, i do have the stage 1 upgrade with the initial download.... i mean, i talked with kevin at length about it all and these are really just a bolt in cam...they cover a very broad power range and don't involve any other real upgrades (which can be done later on) ...and the only reason for the adjustable pushrods is because of lift and the work involved in having to replace the cams (you have to remove the OE pushrods- and that involves either removing the rockers or simply cutting them out...i just assume cut them out).....so the adjustables were the choice because it doesn't involve removing the rockers....you can just cut out the stock ones with bolt cutters and reinstall the adjustables with a chrome pushrod cover conversion kit
the only thing i was curious about was tuning after all is said and done
