For the price, it aint worth it. You want more inches buy a,.. I hate to say it on here, but what the heck,....Yamaha !
First thing before any major increase of power you should determine if you want torque or top end power, you might have want you need with a change of gears and pullings. There is a point where extra horses are just that extra.

I used SE parts; had the upgrade done before I rode it home. I looked at a lot of parts/kits. The best bang for the buck is SE barrels and SE cast pistons. Cost is about $600. '06 Dyna heads are pretty good. Maybe a little port clean up, but nothing drastic/expensive. My bike didn't get any head work, didn't need any. I also used a SE204 cam. I think the 203 is too mild. I really think the 204 is a little too mild; but our options are pretty limited at this point.

Kits like Revperformance would probably make more power, but they cost 3 times as much money.

Have'nt done any of that, but my experience with motors is, if you have it opened up to breath, pipes, high flow ac, then all you would have to do for a cheaper add on are cams. Let them valves stay open longer and deeper. That would be a pretty good fix, like your bikes on ephedrine or something. Just my .02 worth

I haven't been too terribly impressed with the Stage II 95". It's better than the stock 88" but not a vast improvement. I'm sure the dyno tune I've been putting off will be a big help. Ported heads and hotter cams should wake it up nicely.

(snip)I was told for the money, cams would get me more
bang for the buck.(snip)

I've been wondering about this myself I dont have much experiance with Harleys but with other bore jobs I've done the results have been mixed.50% excellant reliable and fun to ride 50% leaky hard starting piece of crap.I am definately going with a Thunderheader, open SE aircleaner and DFO but I've been wondering if high lift cams would be worth doing on an otherwise stock 88 in motor.

I just can't bring myself to replace a bunch of brand new parts when the bike runs strong right now. Maybe when I get 100k miles on it and it needs to be reworked anyway. But putting a big bore kit, cams, etc.. on a motor with 3000 miles on it? Not for me. In a few years after I get it paid off I'll just by a Buell for running around town.
