Default Woods cams? Help??

I'm looking to tap into the vast pool of experience getting around out there.
I have a 2014 CVO Breakout on order - wont get it here for a few months yet. I want to plan the motor work already though. Can anyone advise if they have substituted Woods cams for the screamin eagle ones when putting a stage 3 or 4 kit through the 110" HD motor? I've heard nothing but good reports on the woods cams thus far. I will be running a V&H two into one system as well. Is there anything else I need?

Any advice appreciated.

woods cams make HP,but need a lot of compression are can be on the noisy side,we wont use them here unless the customer just HAS to have them,ide look at the S&S .570 set at 10.0-1,the .585 set at 10.5-1 or the .625 set at 10.8-1 to 11.0-1. with having the heads worked with what ever cam you choose

The Biggest problem with 110 is getting the compression up. Ya need to find a good head/piston/cam combo. I would just go with new SE stage 4 kit on a '14 to keep the warranty. It may be more $ and not make all the power of a good aftermarket build but the warranty is worth something.

I see by your username and achievements that you definitely know what you're talking about, so I appreciate your time to respond. But please don't get too technical or you'll lose me - when it comes to the real technical stuff I'm not that cluey.
The reason I'm interested in woods cams is because my mate brought his 08 fatboy back to Australia when he returned from a 2 1/2 year working stint, and he had basically nothing but V&H pipes, Woods (888's I think) cams and a power commander done to the motor. Now that his bike is back here in Australia, it keeps up with another mates 2013 Fatty with a stage 4 kit through it. And it runs better.
Doesn't the stage 4 kit already come with better high compression heads? And I'm really not concerned with noise - except to the detriment of the engine of course. Lets say I was one of your customers who just HAD to have Woods cams - which would be the most appropriate for a stage 4 110 + V&H pipes?

OK,my mistake I missed the part of you getting a stage IV kit.yes it has high compression.ide go with the S&S .625 cams with 10.5-10.8-1 or the .640 cams at 11.0-1.if I was asked to use a woods cam,ide go with a 408-6 set at 10.8-1
