Default 103 upgrade, what's next?

Hi guys and girls (You know who you are!!) Haha
I have a 2012 wide glide, tw888 cam, screaming eagle tuner, s&s twin pod intake, v&h big shots but what's next for more hp? (Never been shown any proof but claimed to have 97hp, 107 torque)
Heads? Throttle body? High comp pistons and barrels? On a bit of a budget so can't do a complete stage 4.....as much as I'd love to!!
Cheers

Why not throw a 107 kit includes it and be done.

The heads would be a major step up but you won't see much improvement by changing out the TB.

Thanks guys,
What heads would suit? Is there a SE set i could buy off the shelf or would i be better getting work done to my heads?
I'd like a 107 kit, but a head job just sounds better!! Haha

Is a 107 kit actually worth doing? Doesn't seem like much of an increase

Have your stock heads (or a take off set you buy on ebay) done by any of the reputable motor guys that help out on this very site. This will be cheaper and you can have them built to the specs/mods to the motor for optimum performance...The idea is to make the whole package work as one, not a bunch of parts being thrown together with the HOPE of it all working properly...

If you want more power in the rpm range where you ride I would change cams. The 888 cams have a 43 degree intake close which makes it a top end cam.

Thanks Martin10, I have considered this.....but I actually love the cam and idle. It may not be 100% practical but I'm ok with that and am more than happy to work around it.
