Hi from the UK and welcome to HDF. You would do well to spend a little time in here reading up recent tuning threads to clarify your thoughts. There are far too many options out there available to you, especially if you ask us to help you spend your money!

S&S 510G will give you improvement and reliability. I've done it on my '04 and love it on highways. I want now a "little" more ( maybe because one of my buddies bought a '07 CVO...) and searching for an hippo build this winter
