Default Help With Motor Work

I'm not trying to whip a dead horse here but just looking for a little help.
I have a 2010 Street Glide equiped with a SE Ventilator High Flo AC and BUB 7 TDX True Duals.
I pretty much have my mind set on a Thunder Max TBW set up.
Looking for a little help on what else to do with motor on a limited budget and most importantly
keeping the bike VERY relieable, dependable, and driveable.
Just looking for my best bang for the buck with some added HP
Thanks in advance for any help

You'd get some torque back if you went back to a dual exhaust or better yet 2 into 1.

look at mild performance cams which will not stress the valvetrain or result in high spring pressures ( which slam the valves into the seats).

slightly more lift, more duration on the overlap are the characteristics which would result in mild gains, good longevity.
