So much will depend on cams and head work...If you do anything, I would spend the extra $ and get your bottom end done (Timken bearing; welded flies, etc.). I love my TW9BGs, but their not ideal for "cruising." I'd go with a milder set of Woods cams. And stick with the new chain tensioners - gears are a PITA.

I know your results may vary but there are some impressive numbers on the 103's. Enjoy.

This is an example of what I call a "useable torque band":
