Default 2001 FXDXT Build

Hey guys, so I ended up with a 2001 FXDXT! Super excited about it and its extremely clean aesthetically for its age and i don't have an huge plans for looks.
It already has T-bars on and grips which is good enough for me.
My main question is I want to build the engine and go through it; as it has 33k miles on it. Possibly build to 95"-97"??
No real upgrades at this time aside from Screaming eagle slip ons, intake, Andrews 37g cams, new tensioner, oil pump, cam plate, and the bike was FULLY serviced about 3k ago from HD.
Where should i start?
TIA

I think I was talking to you in a Colorado FB group last night. Again, bike looks nice! I hope to add an FXDXT to my garage some day.

I'd just ride the crap out of it for a while. At 33k, with new tensioners and cam plate, that motor will go over 100k. Beautiful bike! Hope I am lucky enough to find one that clean when I get back to the States in two years.

Tensiners? With the 37G cam? I thought that was a gear set up?

Okay looks like their is Andrews 37N cams which are chain driven so maybe thats the case vs the 37g...so that would mean updated tensioners and such!
