You said not to hold back so... (I have put the stage 1 on) If you are talking about the stage 1 flash from HD that was a waste of your cash right there. Forget about the plugs or plug wires. Forget about the heavy breather. Get a fuel management system and a proper tune. Once you are ready, change cams and tune your fuel management system again.
It's always dollars chasing torque.

as stated above... cheapest way is to contact Jamie about a Power Commander. If you are going to do more mods in the future then get the auto tune on the PCV. It tunes itself. If you are serious about working with your motor to join the 100/100 club then get a SEST from HD and find a good Indy dyno guy.
We all wish it was easier but it's just a fact. Torque cost dollars.

Save your cash cause this aint a cheap hobby. I got a deal when I had the cams and tune done and that cost me $800. You can save a tone of money doing the wrench work yourself, but thers no way around paying for the tune if you want to get the most out of what you did. My next step is a 95'' kit and the parts are going to cost me around $450. I'll do the work myself but then It's going to the tuner for $200 worth of dyno time.Thats still at least a total of $650 if everything gose right.

A free flowing air filter can help, unless you already have one that flows well.
