Default Cam chest upgrade question

I know it has been discussed here quite a bit and I have done quite a bit of research before asking the questions I am going to ask so here goes. I have a fuel injected 2006 Street glide always ride two up with gear and want to do the following mods myself.

1. Upgrade to the hydraulic tensioners.
2. Install a S&S 509 cam.
3. Install a Vance and Hines Pro Pipe.
4. Install a Power Vision tuner.

My question is the list of parts necessary for the cam chest upgrade. The lists I have found on here don't match what is currently offered by HD. Is there a more current list as apparently some of the numbers have changed?

Is the oil pump upgrade worth the money or can I use my existing oil pump?

What is the the hybrid plate or system?

Thanks for the help

Harley offers a kit that uses a old style chain it's different from there normal system call up fuel moto I believe they offer a complete kit using all Harley parts so u will have exactly what the newer style 103s have..

Save the money on the pump/plate as yours is absolutely fine.
Install a set of Cyco tensioner shoes, and let-r-rip.
We have all in stock to facilitate an easy install.

In fact it will make ur cam swap easier as the new style kit offers a drop in cams very simple as the screaming Eagle kit u need a press... And as I said the parts are all stock hd parts nothing aftermarket... The screaming Eagle kit is different than what the Normal 103s use

That .509 is a darn good cam in an 88"er.
