You put in larger valves, I would go with more lift.

http://www.harley-riders-guide.com/h...dson-cams.html This is a good link for cam info. The rockers are from HD and less than $150."non-roller" to my door, cheaper than cams and the heads were coming off anyway. It has been done with standard pushrods on other bikes but my heads are being milled and my HG is thinner so I'm going with -.030 perfect fit. I'll give an update when I get my heads back.
