Honestly I just want it to cause an earthquake when fired up 
I dont care about dyno numbers I just didnt know if I needed to go with more cubes with a good set of pipes, or stay with the 103 and have to do a bunch of mods to it, or both? Whatever makes the beast sound come out more
I have money for either way but I dont want to have to keep going to the shop after its all done. I dont race it or anything like that, just a casual rider, barhopper type.

If you want more than that then go with a 107" upgrade kit form FM, Zippers, etc. The 107 kits if installed and tuned properly are very reliable. If you go any more than that you'll have to strengthen the stock crank.
It's been mentioned here, you should pick up the phone and talk to places Drago, FM and Hillside Cycle. Always good to get straight info from experienced builders.

I don't think you realize how much faster and raw your bike will ride / sound with upgrading the belt pulleys to 30/70, mild street cams like 57h, SE204, MR103, good tune and set of 2-2 pipes. It will be an excellent town hopper and sound authoritative as hell. will be very reliable too.

I had an '80 FXS w/ 80 cu in engine.... that's 1340cc, small compared to a 96 or 103 cu in. engine.
I had a small cam and straight pipes and it was more "thunder" than my riding buddies wanted to ride along side. I was always at the back, right on any group ride...
If all you want is sound, no need for a new engine, just change the exhaust...

Well look into a 2 into 1 pipe. I had the big shots and while they sounded good they were not the best. Look at CMP( they make pipes for race motors), fab 28 industries, sik pipes. These guys make pipes to order. They ask for your specs on your bike, ask what you want-performeance/noise etc. and then they build it. I just out a Fab 28 on the dyna i picked up last week and If i had to do it again for my fatboy I would buy a CMP pipe
