Default Future Cam Install

So I just finished installing my new Thunderheader in anticipation of my future cam install. I was GIVEN the SE 255's from a 2007 CVO Road King. I want to have my stock heads ported and polished and not spend the money on other heads.

I dont really want to increase the bore size as I am not chasing a TON of horsepower just looking for that little more than stock in performance and sound.

So should I wait and go ahead with the bigger bore with this cam since I am going to get the headwork done as well or would this provided plenty as I usually rided solo but once in a while have a passenger along for a ride.

I suppose another option would be to change to a different piston as well although I dont know if I want to tear the motor down that far?

Just looking for opinions so I can be more confident in what want to do BEFORE I go and spend the money to do it!.....LOL

Why not go with a 103" upgrade, the increase in size will give you more horses and the cams more grunt. Just did the that to my 88" up to 95" w/cams. What a difference.

If your not crazy about the power, I'd imagine that cams and headwork would be plenty sufficient for what your looking for..

If the heads are coming off I would go ahead and add the cubes.
