Default 2000 Fatboy upgrade options?

Since we need to check the cam chain tensioners, I figure it's time for a cam upgrade. Also wondering if it would be worth it for a 6 speed upgrade. My GF rides the Fatboy (insert joke here) and it's hard for her to keep up with me on my M8. Thinking an Andrew's 26 cam and the six speed. Not planning on doing a big bore, keeping it 88 inches.
I know it would probably be better to get a new bike, but I really don't want to sell or trade at this time.
