Cam comparison

OK have 05 Delux 95 in. kit with 203 cam.Vance and hines propipe,wild things throttle body,heads ported. I want to change cams to give more torque low. i like to hot rod zero to 80 mph. What cam would you suggest

Not sure how much more low end there could be than that combo assuming everything is set up optimally. Torque can only come on so early with that swept volume. What do the curves look like?

Might  what to look at a gearing change instead. Gear it a little lower and get the rpms up a little. Years back many went to the 3:37-1 primary gearing for that reason, more early torque.
While they're might be a cam or two that would help a little. probably very little, then require another tune. Gains not worth the investment. A gearing change won't require a new tune.

Where is the compression set? Got a dyno sheet? There's a few cams that are better than the 203 @ a specific RPM band, but not earth shattering.

Like the others have said that 203 cam is pretty close to as low as you will  get.  I had one in my 99  FLHT and now I have an Andrews 21N.  I could not tell any difference in the acceleration with the 21N over the 203.  The reason I changed was I wanted a conversion cam and the 07 and later cam plate and hydraulic tensioners.  I also later added that 3.37 to 1 primary ratio.  It makes the engine run about 200 more RPM and that allows better acceleration.  The difference was my stock primary used a 25 tooth compensator sprocket and a 36 tooth clutch sprocket.  The 3.37 setup uses a 24 tooth compensator sprocket and a 37 tooth clutch sprocket.  I got the whole thing used from ebay for about $182.  You have to be patient, the 3.37 primaries were only used a few years on twin cam baggers with MM fuel injection, but if you are persistent you should find one.  Other than that you got about as much of a stump puller as you are going to get without shelling out some big $$$.  See what your current primary ratio is now, it may be different for a softail than a bagger.  I don't believe the primary chain from a bagger will work in your bike, but in my case both ratios used the same chain.

If looking for more low end(as long as all it set correctly, currently) you'll be buying juice that isn't worth the squeeze.

I like the idea of the gearing change with a set of CR575s as long as the heads will support.

Increasing the mechanical leverage of the gearing is always a home run.
3.3 overall +/-, seems to be a good 'un.
