Default engine upgrade

I have an 05 RK Custom that now has about 14000 miles. I bought the bike off the showroom floor with the stage 1 upgrade already installed. I'm looking for more boost and want the most the the least $$$. It's not about speed, is about exceleration baby. Not concidering trading in for the 07 yet. Any recommendations or experience with upgrade results that were disappointing would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tommylee (not that one)

'scuse me sir? Did I see a video of you and a certain large-breasted woman circulating the internet a few years back? Uhhhhhh......can I have your autograph??? Do you even need a kickstand?


Seriously, cams are the best bang for the buck. I will not recommend one, but for the money, they really perform. You may also consider a primary gear change. It will give you more acceleration, with little sacrifice on the top end.
