cams
The Andrews 21 will not grow to 95" very well at 30* intake close. The Andrews 26 will grow well at 35* intake close. The Andrews 37 will be the best of these three at 38* intake close if/when you do the flat top pistons and Cometic head gasket when you go big bore.
The Woods 6 would grow well also but cost more and requires the more expensive gear dive setup.
The SE203 will also grow well if you go 95" cast flat top at 36* intake close.
The Andrews and Harley SE cams are routinely discounted.

The woods 6-6 is a chain drive and the 7 is a replacement for the earlier 6H but with only .575 lift and can be chanced (always check coil bind and retainer clearance) with a stock head and springs if you keep the rpms under 5500. There is also a 5-6 with timing of 17/37 39/15 with .575 lift that also might be worth looking at for a low compression build.

here my story 26g great cam with stock heads on a 88 or 95, do any head work raise the compression and you will be dealing with pinging. on a 88 with a 26 you are about 8.9:1 if you bore it to a 95 you are about 9.2:1. I did a BBoyz 9.5:1 head work and had to remove timing to make it run in 85deg weather and pulled 92 hp 98 tq. put the stock heads back on loss 3 hp and 4 lbs tq but no pinging. Now I am trying the 37 right now with the 9.:5 BBoyz heads and the numbers are 98 hp 101 tq but guess what could get the pinging back.
Did all this in the last year and I am out $3500 cash and still draining the pocket book.
the best combo I had was 26 with stock heads and loved it.

FXSTDSE2 you are right on. I rode this bike a year with the WOODS TW-6G cam and the V+H pro-pipe. Was getting 86 hp and 92 tq, which i thought were pretty decent numbers at the time. Now i moved up to 95" with head porting, kept stock valves, now 97hp and 110 tq. Very satisfied indeed.
