Good break down bro. Greatly appreciate it. I think I chose the right one for me then. I am a higher rpm person. I was more aiming to get the bike to 100 hp and 100 tq. I have always been a fan of 1 to 1. I rode the bike a little yesterday and didn't feel any loss of power down low. So this had me thinking. But after your explanation it makes sense because the HP cam still out performs the stock cam in both areas.
The engine that puts down more power over its entire rev range is the most efficient at converting gas to go. If you need more torque at the rear wheel to pull a big mama up a hill, downshift. If you need to pass, turn the throttle until you're by or run outta revs.
I've yet to see an HD "torque" cam that gave better results than an HD "power" cam.
