motor work on a 03 electra glide

I'm considering doing some motor work on my stock carb 88inch motor. Considering going with big bore kit, andrews cams, S&S carb, and possibly the screamin eagle CNC ported heads. Anyone have a similar set-up that can tell me what they think. OR some specs? Still want to keep her reliable since I do alot of touring as well as local cruising.

I like Dave Mackie's stuff. Then get a good adjustable ignition module, adjustable pushrods, roller rockers if your cam lift is approaching .600 a good carb and manifold, I prefer Mikuni, and a good exhaust system. Remember if the heads, cams and compression ratio don't work well together you won't gain much. If it all works together you'll have a dependable, streetable, and much faster ride.
