Since it looks like you've got a Convertible, you've already got a great model. If it still has the CV carb, a good rejetting to go with the Supertrapp (my choice as well, NICE!!) would improve things, as would a return to a stock air cleaner housing with a Scheming Evil (K&N) Air Filter to get more air moving through. A mild street cam like the HeadQuarters HQ-0024 or something equivalent from Andrews or Crane would help. Lastly and most important, I think, get a different ignition module. The stock unit just plain blows, and not in a good way. I like the Screamin' Eagle units, take your pick.

Good luck on the project.
