Cams for an 09 Night Train
I recently picked up an 09 Night Train with 7600 miles. It already had a SE heavy breather and Rinehart Racing Crossover pipes with a canned tune loaded on it. It runs good but a bit rich and I want to wake it up somemore. Alot of my daily riding is about a mile to and from work at 15 to 30 Mph, on the weekends I get out and do a bit of everything from highway cruzing for a few hours to twisty hilly back roads leaning over till I hear some thing scrap. I have a tendency to stretch out the gears comin off a stop and I'd like better roll on power in 6th gear as right now it seems like I can never stay in it unless I'm pushing 80. I'm thinking Cams and a good custom dyno tune so I called my local indie and he is recommending S&S 570 Cams. His total price,install and dyno tuning was $1500. Will these cams work in a 96 for what im lookin for and is it a good price?

Depends on which end of the spectrum you want more out of, really... If you want more down low, low to mid, mid, mid to high, or higher rpm; there are plenty of choices to choose from. What your preference is depends on where to start.
Now with my bike, same year and model, I'm putting a 103 no mile stock take off setup on, and going with andrews57 cams because I like to ride between 3k and 6500 if I'm really in a mood, so I went with a "hot rod" cam

Honestly I want to get this bike performing like my previous 07 FXST, it seemed to have power through the entire rpm range. Coming off a light it pulled hard all the way through the rev limiter in every gear, not petering off until closing in on 100 and it had the low end grunt to make 6th very useful. I didn't even realize how good I had it with that bike until I got this one and noticed the difference. Unfortunately I don't know what kind of work was done to that motor.

What I like about the 37H and 57H is they claim torque from 2200 to 5500 which should make 6th a lot more useful and reduce downshifting above 60. The TW-6-6 claims torque through the entire RPM band, anyone with experience please chime in. Does $1500 sound reasonable for a Cam install and dyno tune?
