Default 2017 FXDLS CAMS question

hello all,
New to the form and just recently bought a brand new left over 2017 fxdls this past fall . Currently all that has been done to it performence wise is a stage 1 kit ( 2 -1 Bassani road rage 2 ,a powervision tune , and the heavy breather kit that comes on it .My question is what kind of cams can I upgrade to without doing any gasket changes or changes to the heads or pistons I.e. compression changes .From what I am seeing these bikes with the 110 will put down some where between 90-95 hp and around 115 ft lbs with my current setup tuned. I would like to see a little over 100 hp and 120ft lbs + ? I know there are 9 million + topics on this already where people ramble on about how great the 117 kit is and compression changes, heads etc ..but I just do not have that kind of money . I want cams that can Be installed into a stock motor and give me the aforementioned number with a nice lope . Would like to put cams in before I dyno tune.
Thank you all.

You might want to post this in the Engine Mechanical Topics section for better visibility.

Short answer is to call Fuel Moto with your questions and they'll recommend something for your riding style.

If you want an easy seat of thepants kick, lower your gearing. A 30 tooth pulley would make a big difference,a 31 would be easier and still give a little something.
