Default Performance upgrades?

I am saving up for a D&D Fat Cat. I will also add the K&N filter at that time as well. I figured I may aswell do some new cams or something if I am paying for a new dyno tune anyway.

Current set up: PCIII, SE A/C, Porker Hatchet Pipes
Planned Mods: D&D Fat Cat, K&N Filter, ????

I don't want to spend aboat load. I have looked at Big Bore Kits like GMR Performances 98" kit and the Screamin Eagle 95" kit, but don't really want to spend $3-$4K, on top of the cost of the Fat Cat.

I was thinking just a set of cams, oris this even worth my while?

Please make some reccomendations, or should I just wait and doit all at once (big bore kit w/ cams, etc.)

You can do whatever you want, but to answeryour question, and from what others have posted in this site, the gains are puny. If your expectations are big might as well rethink. I'd just whack open that throttle

There is little benefit from just doing the cams and the labourcost is high. If you're not ready to get a bigger bore stick with the Stage 1 upgrade and save for Stage 2 cams and larger bore and get it all done at once. When you make that change you will never regret it.
