Default cams

Looking for cam info. I want to boost my low and midrange up. Has anyone installed Kuryakyn's wild thing cam?

There are better bank for the buck with other cams than Kuryakyns line. What else has been done to your bike, like 95' kit, air filter, head work, what EFI fueler do you have...etc.This info will help in picking a cam for you.
I will tell you that the Fish Tail Drag pipes are going to KILL your power all through the rpm range. I'm not telling you that to upset you...it's the truth, not my opinion...it's dyno proven. I seen those pipes rob 30hp from a 105hp build.

I knew that the trual duals would rob me in low end, but I don't see much of a differance after that. My thoughts are to cam up with a bolt in cam to gain some of it back. I'm running a Power commander and big sucker breather in addition to the true duals. Once I get cams, i will havea custommap made by a dyno tech.

Yup, you'd gain the peace of mind by never having to check your chain tensioner shoes ever again, you'd gain low end torque if you go with the 26's and you'd gain a little bit of valve train noise.

There is a 2 to 3 hp gain from the gear drives by getting rid of mechanical friction lossesin the chain drag. Set up the gear drive correctly and there will be no noise gain.
