There is a lot of info out there on what you can do. On my 98 RK EFI I went with a re-ring on the pistons, SE heads, Woods W6 cam, torrington bearing, SE lifters & push rods, Supertrapp Supermeg 2-1 exhaust with 18 disc & closed end cap and a Powercommander USB III. The bikeis much more fun to ride and he gas mileage improved from 42-43 stock to 48-49 now. Good luck with your build.
