I have an 09 street glide that I知 looking to get it to rev quicker. Current setup is Woods tw6 cams, pc5, d&d fat cat 2-1, s/e intake. It pulls good but I知 looking for more. Trying to stay away from big bore kits if I can. What more can I do before I end up going that route? Thanks in advance!

why are you trying to stay away from upping cubic inches? big bore, headwork to set comp where it needs to be, a dyno tune from a guru will all bring a smile

You have to decide what you want-
Stock CR with a little cam is not ever going to be a fire-breather
I highly recommend you draw a line near the bottom of the page and write dwn the goal.
Then above the line fill in what it takes to get there.
Anything less you are just throwing parts at it and hoping.
.It is dam hard to bolt on HP
New air cleaners and pipes don't mean squat.
14 to 1 AFR is good for a little tiny power plant.

Headwork, proper compression, trans sprocket swap, and a good tune.

It is all heat, no power.
You are not going to run a very high CR with squish that works with anemic AFR

Heres my .02😉 not worth playing around with it. Ride it and enjoy it. Next worthwhile step would be a nice 107. Many ways to do that. Talk to a builder about the options. Much more bang for you bucks and you probably will be happy for a long time.

Harley invented the "stage numbers" for people that have to hire it done.
Any engine that comes out the door purposely derated with a truckload of parts from SE to make it better should be thought
of as JUNK.
Now if you buy into this stage crap, you get to buy the bike twice.
Its a GREAT DEAL FOR THEM, A **** POOR ONE FOR THE UNEDUCATED.
