add a 12 crank (make it a 12) but keep the 9 pistons to give it higher compression.
A micron or drummer ss pipe, race ecm, or custom map from American Sport Bike,
open air box and you'll be in business.

While you're at it make it an 08+ crank because they are stronger.

If you don't want to split the cases the "bolt on" big bore kit will do the trick
with cams, pipe and airbox, but it still won't be a superbike.
