Default 1999 dyna super glide sport engine upgrade

Hey guys new to the forum but have been reading lots of posts for many years and look forward to all the expert help I can get here. I’m looking to upgrade my twin cam 88 ci to a 95 or 98 ci but not sure what one is going to be better for my current setup. I upgraded the chain tensioner kit last year with the high volume oil pump, Andrews 26 cams, adjustable pushrods, and new lifters. I switched the carburetor to an hsr42 with a heavy breather air cleaner and a D and D fat cat exhaust. What is a list of things I would need to do a 95 or 98 build and what is going to give me the most power without losing reliability?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Bore to 98", headwork, and 1.725 rockers on the intake side. DTT ignition.
9.7 cr. compression.
STRONG low-mid combo, and still not a weakling on the top.
