Cams are the next logical step. Along with a thundermax, SERT or Power commander. The items you noted above aren't going to get you any noticable gains. Just make sure you get cams that are going to suit your needs. And if you're going to do anymore engine mods in the future such as big bore, head work etc., you'll want to get components that compliment each other. There's nothing worse than spending big bucks on mismatched parts and ending up with a poor performing build.
There are actually several people on here that can give you much better engine mod advice than I can...Mudpuddle is a good source, he can point you in a direction on who to talk with. Unfortunately, if engine performance is your thing, be prepared to drop some coin from this point on.....but if done right, you'll be thankful for every dollar spent!

Also hear that the ***** G skull collection is worth a tenth of a second in the 1/4 mile.

Getting 12" Black progressive 412's in one month, what about the rev limit how can that be adjusted, should I have the stage one download done and run my fuel pak would that make a performance increase?

Did the Stage I a little while after I got the motorcycle. The only thing left is the air cleaner. To do over I would have skipped it. If you think the Stage I is as far as you want to go then its worth it. If you have higher performance mods in mind later on with a SERT or other fuel management then its wasted money.
Here's a couple good links on the EFI.

Wouldn't even worry about changin the rev limit...will only do more harm than good on your stock motor, really no need to rev that high unless ya have a high rpm power band!

I'd probably hold off on anything until I could afford cams...seems like the next logical step to me, you and I are basically in the same place as far as the performance mods we've each had done.
