Can + worms. There are all kinds of options and threads. Do a search big bore- camshafts - horsepower. I went cheap with SE 103 bigbore kit and Andrews 54h cams, no headwork except springs and compression releases. I'm happy with it for what it is and the way I ride. Depends what ya want. Check with some builders in your area. If ya are gonna have them do the work, they know what works for them.
there is literally hundreds of hours of reading on this forum and others. search google and go to town.
i'm really good with budget builds that make power, so if you want my recommendations, PM me

I have a 2012 FLHTK Limited. I have 254e cam, download, SE AC and night sticks. (Stock head pipe). The bike runs great! It pulls hard down low and keeps pulling. I Imagine with a tune and headers would be even better, but it runs great just the way it is.

The stage 1 download dosen't really do much even for a stage 1, with the upgraded cams you got you really should look into a getting a tuner, you would be suprised how much power you are losing running fuel maps that are not designed to be ran with the mods you have IMHO.

Spend a little more time in here browsing through recent threads. Tuning our bikes is one of the most popular subjects and probably comes up every day. There are so many things you can do it is impossible to list them.
There are several sponsors of HDF who are engine tuning specialists. If you want to take a short cut pick one and phone them. Talk through what you want of your bike and they will guide you through the maze.
