@LivingtoRide17 You don't change cams to get a different sound. You change cams for better performance. Sound is just a by-product of that particular modification. As far as cost, it depends if you're capable of doing it yourself or not. I swapped mine, and it cost me around $500-$600 including the cams which I found used online for more than half the cost of new. I would start by getting quotes from mechanics in your area as prices may vary.
Had those cams in my 2001 softail, cut the base of the jugs down quite a bit .009 quench on the front cylinder .011 on the back with factory gasket that cam responded really well to compression never dynoed but it ran great
@nobleff517 Those two cams are pretty darn close. I think either choice is good although the 37s are probably cheaper. I actually went out for a good test ride today since I just had it tuned this past week. Cruising in 5/6th gear, the bike has a good powerband. I was pretty happy with the quicker acceleration the bike has now. Depending what you want, check the Wood tw7 cam also, I am already looking into it. :) Dyno'd @ 84hp/91tq.
Through some testing, I learned it's not a timing issue. The pcIII map I had gotten was way too rich causing the hesitation. I tried a different map and it runs better but still needs a tune.
I have a 2009 fat bob 96tc with V&H Bigshots, PC-V, and I'm thinking about changing the cam to get a different sound. How expensive is it to change the cams and what difference does it make?

@Wireguided Hey man! :) Once I got it dyno-tuned, the hesitation is a non-issue.
