The point is that yes, 'just a cam' can make for a significant improvement, providing the cam choice is designed for a mostly stock motor. (Stage I e.g.) And with an '01, with it's excellent crankshaft you could consider gear drive cams and get rid of the chain tensioners too! ( Of course, that's more money.)
And there are many, many choices available. Please do your homework and talk to several of the people that install them before you make your decision.

I would go with a 26 over a 21 on a stock dyna they only have 500 rpm difference. I have the 26 in my bike, I noticed a difference on my bike when I just installed cams. The 37 is more for 95 with high compression.

By the time you buy cam's a gasket kit and have the bike rejetted your looking at 5-600 bucks i got my big bore kit for $630 then $30 for a reflash then about $120 for the final tune on the dyno. My 2 cents is save your money and get the bore kit when you can afford it.
