Default Cam/LIfter/Pushrod Kit for 2014 Stock 103HO

I know this is a matter of opinion for the most part but I am sure that there are 3 or 4 pretty well tested kits or at least individual parts designed to go together. I am looking to upgrade my bike a bit. I want to keep the same jugs and heads but wouldn't mind upgrading the cam, pushrods, lifters, and maybe even the rockers if necessary.

My goal is 2 part:
1. I want to increase the hp/torque throughout the RPM range.
2. I want to reduce the amount of clatter in the valve system.

I am not looking for 130# of torque, just something noticeable and better than stock. 95+ would probably do it but not sure that is doable with just a cam and lifters.
I want to maintain the reliability of the stock system.

Currently I only have slip-on's and an FP3 tuner. It would be nice if I could use the same tuner but am open to changing exhaust to match the setup. It would be nice if there was just a kit put together with all of the above and an estimate range of improvement but so far I haven't seen anything. Most upgrades are sold individually with no real indication to what may go with them best. I am sure the information is out there, I just haven't found it so reaching out to the board to see what kind of suggestions come back.

Your going to get a lot for different opinions on this subject . I went with Andrews 48 for the cams, S&S for pushrods and lifters and fat cat for exhaust.I have a power vision for a tuner. I'm happy with the results except the fat cat is to loud

You might want to get hold of Jamie at Fuel Moto - I'm sure he'd have a kit to match your needs and even a mapped tuner if yours can't be used.
+1 on S&S quickie pushrods but remember they're 32 tpi when adjusting them. I used their gasket / inner cam bearing kit also when I went with
Andrews 57's and a mapped Power Vision from Jamie.

I'm running Andrews 57H cams with S&S pushrods and lifters also. As far exhaust, IMO D&D is the best option out there. I've had one on my past 2 bikes now and I wouldn't buy anything else.

Thanks for the input everyone. I kinda figured I would be piecing it all together, was hoping for a total solution. Oh well, it's not like I didn't do it the same way back in the 80's with the Chevy 350. I'll start researching all of the above.

Hey Scott, what kind of HP is that setup making? I am only looking for an estimate of course.

Rockout...got em.

With a good exhaust and good tune, 100-105 hp and 109-112 ft/lbs should be within easy reach.

That is more than I thought from basically a cam upgrade. Thanks for the info.
