That one-word recommendation ("cams") should be amended as "the right cams for your riding style." Put the wrong cams in the bike and you may end up with diminished satisfaction. Do your research. Also, be advised that if you do take that step up you may need a different tuner, or at least a revamped tune to fit the profile of the new upgrade.

XiEDs for enrichen closed loop where you spend most of your riding time in. Fuel pack only helps open loop not closed loop. Less than $100 and well worth it.

I thought the fuel pak used the stock ecm in a closed loop fashion. Does the fuel pak not use the O2 sensors to to make adjustments while riding?

You never mentioned if you have aftermarket slip ons. There are a ton of good choices out there, and no shortage of used ones around. Most will add a bit of power vs the stock mufflers.

Yep, just put on the high flow air cleaner and the Harley download which my dealer did for free, was going to get a PCV, but the download and A/C have made a big improvement, should have done it sooner.

Still have the stock slip ons but quite happy with the sound. Would I actually feel the difference in performance with a new slip on?

Yes, I think you definitely will. I could tell the difference on my 2011 103 Limited Ultra, as soon as I did Vance & Hines Power Duals, and Vance & Hines High Output slip-ons. Plus, the High Outputs sound great. Nice big deep rumbly bagger sound, but nobody has any problem riding behind me.
