42 mm is overkill for an 80 inch Evo. Also, on a bike of that age, you need to consider the effect those changes will have on the existing stock parts that will interact with them.
For example, a "bigger" cam will likely trash '86 lifters in short order. "Bigger Cam" doesn't describe much. Duration, lift, rpm power band are key things to know what you expect BEFORE you start.
Simply dumping more gas with a cam won't necessarily make that bike better.

I had a 96 FXDWG and you can really wake yours up. Start with a Single Fire Ignition (more aggressive spark advance and adjustable rev limiter. Fine Tune you CV-40 with a Yost Performance kit, money well spent vs new carb. Arlen Ness Big Sucker air cleaner kit which comes with a K&N filter. Have cylinders bored to the next over size and drop in some Wisco Forged pistons with 0.040 head gaskets. Andrews EV-27 cam will give toy a Torque Monster.
