Local dealer wanted just under $1200 for a cam swap & dyno tune. I got a local indy shop to do it for $695.00. For that he gave me Andrews tw-50 cams, baffles for my exhaust and custom map for power commander 3.

+1 stick with your chain drive and go for a set of cams, I did mine 2 months ago, the job took me 4hrs for the first time, not bad a learning experience. Cam, air intake and exhaust are reasonable upgrade, I was planning the do a 95" upgrade before I changed the cams but I've changed my mind after the cam swapped, it makes a difference, it is the way I like my bike to be. Yes, there is no replacement for displacement but I am really happy with the performance. My engine runs like a top, not burning oil, will not risk to touch the pistons and jugs for now.
