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.

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.

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.
