Default Sportster 1200 Cams

I m looking into new Cams for my 2010 Sportster C 1200. Its has Thunder Header, Alren Ness Big Sucker and Screamin Eagle open ended chip... 99 % I have a passenger, and track it occasionally 1-3 times a yr. PB now iw 12.92 @ 111 MPH. I m wondering bang for buck what would be a good choice on cams without breaking the bank ??

meh, old tech, n2,4,6 and 8 are all cams developed for 91-03 technology. The hammer 570s are designed for 1200 stock internal rubbermounts. You won’t Lose any low end power and you’ll gain in the upper rpms. For some reason I can’t copy and paste Hammers 570 cams description.

I have the N4s (mild cam). Nice little bump in power but dollar for dollar I think the Hammers may have been better. If you're 2 up you may want a cam with power that comes on earlier. The N4's move the power band to upper rpm range which is great for getting down the track fast but maybe not optimal for carting the Mrs's around.

However my Mrs's and I weight about 420 combined and my Sporty doesn't break a sweat. She's rarely on board though.
