RE: what's best after stage1
The standard carb, modified with a jet kit and new air cleaner, can delivermuch betterperformance than in factory tune, so I reckon you are right - fit a new cam. I used an Andrews EV27 on my FLHS until makingmore radicalmods.
Wise choice of exhaust can also help. Drag pipes are not good for street use, but a two-into-one seems to be abetter choice.

Cam and carb go together. Change the cam and you'll have to fiddle with the carb, so if you want a "next", do a carb and then the cam so you can re-jet the carb as needed. No point in rejetting a carb you are planning on getting rid of eventually anyway.
Keeping in mind, of course, that the more HP you get out of a motor, the less reliable it will be. You can get 70 HP out of it for 100K miles or 700 HP for 1/4 mile.

I had to have my topend rebuilt about a month ago, bored out, new pistons, etc. I added theEV27 cam,thunderheader exhaust and the S&S Super E carb. Runs much stronger and loves 75 to 80mph. According to the mechanic that did the work the Ev27 & S&S carb works the best with the thunderheader pipe and it adds quite a bit more without going too far.
