make sure the cam plate isn't bowed which is common with the sandcast oem plates when your just replacing shoes,and even you're on a budget it’s probably wise to check your oil pump gear rotors for wear and have one on standby for replacement and most likely it will be worn from its entire life riding on the out of true crankshaft, better to replace a 150 oil pump than pay for a 250 tow to do the same thing all over again.

You must check crankshaft runout before making any cam or performance choices. Also keep in mind before you install any performance products as a installer this is your responsibility to calculate and check
Coil bind, Valve to valve clearance, and valve to piston clearance with the Grind, open, close, duration/s, valve lift, lift @ TDC
So that way you don't have a piston kiss your valve and then that's all she wrote.

Chain drives also give much more leeway of crankshaft runout, this is the biggest factor when choosing chain or gear drive setup your crankshaft must have less than .003 Thousandths runout on crankshaft axis, .012 thousandths is Harley’s serviceable limit for Crankshaft altogether, So before you think big cam you might be thinking big bottom end and built heads. Darkhorse crankworks are the best, if you're not going to replace your main crank bearing and have your crank trued, don't want excessive gear drive sound, chain drive is the way to go.
If you really care for your bike or your customer wants a bulletproof upgraded setup you can install or build your own Hydraulic Conversion kit. Which in short means You can Convert 1999-2006 Spring tensioners to hydraulic with Screaming Eagle conversion cam plate/oil pump and Andrews conversion cam combo or Fueling kits are popular because of their price point and inclusivity of all the parts required.

Please remember Whenever you replace cams, always swap inner cam bearings, even as a safety measure it would be wise, you absolutely don’t want one of these little rollers to seize up, to then seize your new entire cam chest
