Need help building performance on '07 1200XL

[coop1824]

I need some help. I have a 2007 sportster 1200 XLC with 12,000 well taken care of miles. I have chromed it from top to bottom with just about everything available on the market. I just recently purchased a 2007 street glide that has been built up for performance and decided now was a great time to do the same with my sportser. Things I have for the build up are:
(all Screaming Eagle) 1. Heads pt# 16677-07, 2. Tappets pt# 18562-02, 3. intake, 4. Race tuner, 5. Bassani sweeper pipes.

I plan on getting the pushrods(pt#18424-06), pistons(pt#22711-04B), and cams (not sure which one - I need help with this choice), and all the gaskets of course. Is there any thing else I need to consider, am I heading in the right direction? What cam should I use? I'm considering the 3 screaming Eagle options, p.47 2010 catalog pt# 25740-05, 25197-04, 25649-01A. Ultimately I am looking for a louder, quicker, more powerful bike, but I want long term reliability as well. I just want to crack the throttle and go. Thanks.

You will get more performance out of your engine if you decide to use Buell heads, cylinders, pistons..etc.

I already have the Screaming Eagle heads though. Got a great deal on them. Thanks.

Nallin Racing does some hot Sportsters as well.
