Default Dynojet carb kit or thunderslide?

Hey everyone I am having a dilemma on what to do as far as a carb kit for my 2002 sportster that I put a 1200 conversion kit in. I have been riding the bike for a couple years since I built the motor but I never did much to the carb except for putting a different slow jet and main jet in it. I have been looking at getting a carb kit to help it out a bit more but I am not sure whether the dynojet kit would be the best for my situation or the thunderslide set up. If anyone could shed some light on what option is the best choice I would appreciate it. Thanks!

I've got the Dynojet kit on my 91, runs real well. Definitely noticed a boost in power. I've got the SE air cleaner, dynojet, and HD freeflow mufflers. Sounds a lot better too.
