Engine mod recoomendation
Engine mod recommendations are needed. I have a 2005 Deluxe that is carbureted and I would like to do some mods to it that will allow for a little more power. The 88 is just not doing it for me in terms of power and I am wanting more. What are some mods that can be done that are not going to break the bank? Lets say $1500 max. Thanks.

My first mod to my 88" Softail was putting in gear drive cams. It really woke the bike up. A couple of years later I had my cylinders bored and head work done for $570. My GF bought the pistons for me for my birthday. Since I did the work myself, total cost was around $1100 for the cams and 95" build. It can be done in your price range if you do the work.

I'd say do a good Stage 1 if you haven't done it already, and some Andrews 21s. You'll have to decide whether to upgrade the cam chain tensioners, stay with stock tensioners or go with gear drives if the crank run-out is within spec.
