Default next step in performance

I already got a stage 1, S&S air intake, Samson true duals(I know not the best performance ways) and a RC components fuel management system in my 2009 Deluxe. My questions is what is my next "logical" step to improve performance? I am not looking for a drag bike, just some more torque for when I travel 2-up and a scoot a little more fun to ride.

Cams should be next on that list. Andrews 48.

You should consider how far you want to go.

Everyone saying cams is right. That will definitely help. However, what cam you choose is a big choice. If you want to keep building it, you're better off doing everything at once and getting the best cam for your build.

The last thing you want to do is end up with a cam that is good for the stock compression ratio, and then decide you want high compression or big bore and need to swap cams to work with that.

Would my Fuel management system would work or do I need to remove it?
What do you mean with stock vs something else compression ratio? Sorry I am not very knowledgeable that is why I was asking in first place.

Scuba is saying that if you plan on doing more engine work/improvements in the future, to do it all at once so that you have a well balanced package and are not doing the same work twice, I.E.: putting in cams now and then having to buy new ones later after you do those improvement so that the whole package matches and works together.
If you don't plan on doing any other work in the future, Andrews 48s will work very well in your bike for your intended riding style.
If you do plan on future work, but want to put cams in now for immediate gratification, choose them keeping in mind what you have planned later.
