C&C is his next move.
Cams and Compression.
When you say V&H pipe are you saying he already has a 2-1 pipe or does he have "Pipes" plural.
Little bit of extra ummph in the midrange to be had from a 2-1 but they look out of sorts on a Heritage IMO.
TQ cams and bump that low *** stock compression. The old man will get his arms stretched a bit if done and tuned properly.

It depends on what compression he plans on running and if he is gonna do any headwork.
If he just wants a drop in cam that will work without requiring additional modifications to the heads and if he wants to keep the bike at stock compression there are several good grinds out there that will give him a good boost.
Google up and then contact Andrews Cams and Woods. You may even call Headquarters as they have sweet stuff as well.
If he just wants to stick with HD stuff and leave his heads and compression stock do a set of 203 cams which will make more power in the low to mid or 204's which are gonna move that peak power into a higher RPM range.
These aftermarket guys are offering lots of bang for the buck with drop in cams so I wouldnt go getting all googly eyed with just HD cams. Look around. Make some calls. Yada'Yada.
Go to the Dynos for Softails section. Some good info to be gleaned there.

I know a lot of people never really look around in here, but at the top of page 1 here in this softails section is a STICKY tread.

Yes there is some good information in that post and I thank you for starting it, but unfortunately there are not enough posts with dyno sheets. Saying something like 100TQ 100HP really means nothing unless you know at what rpm's those numbers occurred. That's just my thought.
