which cam

I have my bike over at at friends house, using his shop, and pretty much letting him do all the work replacing my cam chain tensioners. They were in SURPRISINGLY good condition for 70K miles, they look almost exactly like the did at at 30K, a little darker on the wear surface, but not much more wear really.

Anyway, to replace them both, he's got to pull the cam plate, so I cant really find any good reason to not go ahead and do cams at the same time.

I just want to go back with a drop in cam using the stock chain setup, had wanted to swap over to the hydraulic tensioner system, but being furloughed from the RR at the moment finances to really allow for that.

What would be my best cam choice for a drop in cam that will make better power with true duals, and big sucker air cleaner that I have now, that will pay even better dividends next winter if I go back in and take it to 95 CI, and get a set of takeoff heads I have ported, or go with SE heads at that time, whichever seems to make the most sense when that time comes around?

No brand loyalty, or anything on my part, I want to use what's best for power regardless of brand or anything else.

So far at the moment the plan is to replace the tensioners, go back with adjustable pushrods for ease of install, replace the lifters for the heck of it, I seem to recall some having issues with the stock ones collapsing on the hydraulic side or something so thought cheap insurance. Don't really have plans for anything else at the moment, but just can't justify being this far into it and not doing cams while I'm there.

I'm running a thundermax auto tuner, so shouldn't be an issue to find a close map to whatever I end up going with and let it take over from there. I know not the best tune possible, but that seemed like the best option for a descent tune around these parts at the time, this part of Texas isn't really ripe with custom tuners.

so I welcome your ridicule and assistance!
