If you can do your own work you can get a cam kit for around 800 but then you'll need a tune...or you can give jamie over at fuelmoto a call and see what he suggests.

Get a better air filter, a set of slip ons, or if you really want cheap, punch out the center baffles in your stock cans.
Then, a power commander III from Fuel Moto and you WILL feel a difference.
Next, cams and cam plate/tensioner upgrade. Your motor has the spring tensioners and they are a ticking time bomb. When they go, so does your oil pump and maybe more. My spring tensioners were looking really bad at 29K miles when I pulled them a couple days ago.
95" big bore kit can be done too. I'm tearing into the engine and doing the jugs and cams at the same time. I'm cleaning/replacing seals and various little bits here and there as I go. I didn't buy everything at once, just started a year ago acquiring various kits. Check Ebay for big bore and cam plate upgrade kits. Zanotti's HD online for OEM and SE parts at a discount.

You can do it easily under $1000 with a power package from Fuelmoto. If it's not enough extra power for you, you haven't wasted money. It's stuff needed anyway.

Heck with that stage 1 garbage.
For $1279 you can make some REAL power.

(you might be able to negotiate a discount and get closer to $1000)

Whatever you decide, make sure that the mods are good for future upgrades if you are on the fence about doing them. For instance, if you decide to go to a 113" in the future that requires timing adjustments, then a PCIII may not be the best choice. I did the stage 1 and it wasn't enough, so now I have a PCIII for sale. Probably cost me $200.00 in the long run assuming I can sell the PCIII. As far as an upgrade that will get you more power, there are alot of choices and tons of info on the site. I was happy with my choice for stage 1 in sig below. I think someone has the fever!!!! Good luck with your mod.
