Default Would like some input on a cam change on my 2016 Road Glide Ultra

I want to go to a aftermarket camshaft for my 2016 Road Glide Ultra, being a big bagger I obviously don't race it, it'll probably never rev past 5500 rpm's. My wife and I use it for distance cruising. I just want more snap out of it when I roll on the throttle and a nice semi-lopey idle. I don't want to change the heads but if necessary I'll change the push rods Any suggestions for a camshaft?? Feel free to email me at ff_heatseeker@hotmail.com
I've heard a lot about the SE-211, 255 cam and the TW-37, any thoughts about any of these??? Any help is appreciated.

My wife & I do the same thing and pull a trailer too. Tons of options and opinions about cams in the "Engine Mechanical Topics" section on this forum. I have Andrews 57H's in my 2015 Ultra and love them. However I am adding a +4 degree cam gear this winter to bring the torque on earlier in the RPM range. Always advisable to change lifters when doing cams. You should change the cam bearings as well to the Screaming Eagle bearings or another "Good" bearing. While you are there, get some adjustable push rods too. Makes the job easy and you can adjust alot of the typical HD valve train ticking out with adjustables.

Just my opinion

Lots and lots of information out there on cams. Enter this in Google and you'll get more hits than Pete Rose.

Andrews 48H cams. Dirt cheap and work really well in a 103" bagger.

You might want to consider a gear drive cam by S&S if they make one for your model. Also, it sounds like you will want to go with other mods to the motor later on. You might want to consider the EZ start gear drive cam. This reduces the compression during starting without compression releases.
