103 Build HD vs Other shops
I have a local shop that offers this build, My dealer has a special for a 103 build for $1600 with cams, which would be better, any help would be great. Would this build be worth the difference.

Thanks, that's what I'm thinking, the HD build is saying more like 10% increase.

That Indy is really advertising that range of increase? I would seriously, do some more research. Hog fever can be dangerous thing. When you get the fever, you need to step back, take a few deep breaths, shake your head, blink your eyes and talk to a few more people. We've all been their.
Cruzzer, if you have Godspeed do it let us all know how it works out? I am in the North Bay and been seeing there ads and thinking about it. I think I would pay the extra and get the gear drive cams while they are in there.

From stock to the 103, a gain of 25 TQ is possible. I had a Stage I and just did cams and a dyno. Got 10 ft/lbs gain in TQ over the Stage I. Had I gone with the 103 with the Comtec gasket and some minor head clean up, I think I would have gotten anoter 10. So that would have been about 25 over stock. Very good builds with some head work advertise 115 ft/lbs. I don't see anyway this build would get a gain of 40.

If you shop around and do some negotiations, you can gain more than that. I went from stock 66hp/86tq on my dyna to a all SE 103" build that puts out 112hp/111tq and my total cost was around $1800. Here's how I did it, 110"+ heads off ebay brand new-$250, ported & polished locally-$400, 103"cylinders, 10.5 to1 forged pistons, 260 cams, and perfect fit pushrods-25% off dealer special on all parts, total was $750, 8hrs of labor at $65hr-$520, other parts- $80, total was $2000. Sold my stock heads & cylinders-$200, that brung it down to $1800, I already had a sert and my dealer was doing a advance performance seminar that week and used my bike when demonstrating the use of the sert and dyno, so my tune was free! So from 66 to 112 = a 70% increase in hp and from 86 to 111 = a 30% increase in tq. My bike is set up for more mid to upper rpm riding, thats where I wanted it.

Remember, chasing numbers at times will lead you down apath that you may not like in the end. It is all about rideability.
