My understanding is the 96" motor was designed originally to be able to go up to 120" with cams/heads/pistons/cylinders. If that is correct, I'd assume you can take the 103" and go with the SE 110" or 120" kits. My guess is there are only slight changes between the 103 you have and the 103 upgrade for a 96".
Again...just guessing. Haven't talked to anyone about this but might be something you want to research.

Stop guessing, everything you just said is incorrect. 96" to 107" without splitting cases, anything bigger requires a tear down and milling.
You already have Stage 1 more air in, more air out and retune. Higher flow air cleaner (lots of choices), higher flowing (catless recommended) exhaust and either a download or aftermarket tuner (latter is best).
Cams (next), personally I'd do cams along with the above to start with. Headwork if you still feel the need, ... the list goes on from here but gets a lot more expensive per HP.

The 103 can be built to put out around 120/120 HP/TQ. It will take cams, head work, throttle body/injectors, exhaust, tuner and tune.
Once you get above the 100 HP mark, you should definitely consider upgrading your clutch and compensator. I bought the AIM VP clutch ($220) and the SE compensator ($250). Immediate improvement!

Send your heads out and a agressive Cam... Get stage 4 heads, Get a HPI 55mm Throttle Body, get a good cam Woods or Tmann, some injectors, nice exhaust and a good tune.. and your looking at 110-120HP and same in TQ.... Once I did that to my Dyna is when I really felt her wake up...
Once you get into anything bigger them a 107 you need to machine the cases and do some crank work etc etc.. It gets into a whole new price range at that point.. I am telling you get headwork and a cam and the other things I mentioned and you will be gtting the front wheel up...

The OP never mentioned cost or amount of work as a factor and while for many of us cost may be an issue, perhaps to him it is not and thus I shouldn't filter suggestions based on nothing more than a preconceived limitation. Everyone else was suggesting heads, cams, and the other usual items and so thus I felt I should mention the displacement options. Unless there is some change in the 103 that would not allow the parts for the 110 or 120 upgrades for the 96" to work such as a different crank, bolt patters for the cylinders or push rod alignment I don't see why everything I said was wrong.
You'll also note I told him to research those options...
Now if there are reasons why a 110 or 120 kit won't work in a 103 just like it would in a 96 (meaning BOTH would require case modification), then by all means share the knowledge with us.
