Default 2001 Deuce Upgrade Question

Can someone point me in the right direction for a quick mod. I was wanting to put a new carb on my 88 and a cone air cleaner. I already have vance and hine long shot pipes. I just want a little more power. I don't know what size carb I should use? Thanks,

I think you won't feel any difference in power with a different carb. I would install a bolt in cam first if you really want the extra power.........
