Default Need help with engine mods

I really need your guys advice/suggestions. I am looking to increase my engines performance and need some opinions/suggestions on what to do. If you have a 95" kit let me know how you like it. I am in Afghanistan right now (USAF working with USA)and researching what I want to do to it (04 FSXTBI) when I get back in Feb. I can spend up to about $2400. I would like 100ft./lbs if possible. I have thought about Edelbrocks 95 kit, Head-Quarters, and REV 98" kit. I prefer to do the work my self as well as the initial tune. Thanks for your input and advice, I will take it seriously.

Was it a build with the Edelbrock set-up or one of the others? Need some help here guys. Seriously considering the Edelbrock way. If you have it please let me know what you think of it. Thanks.

Yeah, flew into there once...better base that Kabul's, but worse region.

You need anything, man? I'm in Germany, so APO to APO is free...shoot me a PM if you do.

Be careful!!

Tim,

Still thinking of renting a bike while over in Germany. I am in Nurinberg - no too far from you.

Brent.
