Might as well go with a 1250 kit. NRHS or Hammer performance. They both have lots of info on their sites.

I would go with the NRHS 1250 upgrade that you can see HERE.

Also, budget for an Energy One Clutch, that you can see HERE.

You will need it, the stock clutch will not hold the power.

That is what I did with my Sporty.

There are several options, including the 1250 kits already mentioned, which several members have installed. There are also a couple of excellent threads detailing what is involved. Other brands offer kits, including S&S. There is also an SE kit, which comes with high CR pistons, cams and tuner in one box, which looks good value IMHO. Stock 883 heads seem to flow very well as stock and can give great improvements in performance without any porting.
