Mild performance mods?

I'm planning on making a few changes to add some grunt to my Train. Here's my list:

1. Thunderheader exhaust.
2. TTS fuel management
3. Woods cam, probably the TW 6-6
4. Doherty air cleaner and breather set-up.
5. Dyno-tune once the mods are done.

Trying to keep with the basics, I'm not ready to tear the motor apart with a big-bore kit. Yet.

SO what do ya think? Am I missing something? Any thoughts?

Thanks!
Bob

That's very close to what I woulod like to do eventually. A cam, D&D Fat Cat, TTS, etc. Your list looks good to me.

It sounds good. Do it up. I can get you all of that stuff at a discount too. I prefer the fatcat to the thunderheader, but it is all personal taste. TTS is top notch man, definitely the way to go. I am still working on getting one.

(I also checked out RB Racing's LSR pipes, but they're a little loud, and proud. $$)

I'll probably be giving you a call in mid-May regarding prices and availability, thats when mama's gonna let me take HER checkbook for a spin! She gets a screen porch and new furniture, and I get to pay some Harley tax.

(Now, where's that Snap-On truck??

You will love that WOODS cam and notice a BIG=(HUGE) difference. Only piece i see missing is the BAISLEY oil pump spring PT.# LMR-002 to INCREASE oil pressure! A must have when adding PERFORMANCE PARTS like this cam!

Sounds like a good plan, one thing I would suggest is to add a 4 degree advance gear for that cam, add that and you will love it. With the gear it will come on sooner and will still pull all the way thru.
