Default Pulling the power out of the 103 ci motor

Looking to buy a 2012 Wide Glide and want to what its going to take to get around 100hp out of this motor without any major modifications ( its already 103 ci for Gods sake! lol) Looking at pipes, tuner, cams and maybe ports. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

How many HP does it have stock? Exhaust and tune?

eagle
® Pro eFI Super tuner module to provide the right
on-track tuning for maximum performance. When installed
with your choice of high-flow air cleaner and free-flowing

I've heard 75hp from an HD salesman and I've read a couple places that say 79hp and 84hp.

Ive seen as low as 66 hp on Cycleworld dyno charts, Im coming off a V-rod and dont want to be too disappointed with the performance, the dealer is saying it could cost $2-2.5k to get it to 100 hp!

I have the 103 in my Fat Bob. I went with the V&H intake with Screamin Eagle exhaust. I don't have access to a dyno in my area but I find it has plenty of pull.

This is my first HD and I converted from a crotch rocket.

my '08 fatbob has the SE 103" stage II kit and it is incredible now that I have powervision. To answer squidley c IMO if you got the cams and the clutch spring kit with a good tuner such as PV , obviously pipes and high flow air cleaner, you would already reach very close to 100 HP and tq. If you go with ported / polished heads, about the same, if you add the 2 together you would very likely get above 115 HP, then more often than not you will unintentionally squeel your back tire away at every light.
I almost forgot to say , monday I was out riding when this ducati screamed by me, so I caught up and the next car he passed I stayed right on his heels, he freaked that a harley could even remotely keep up let alone keep pace. we were going average 80 to 110 mph. I don't yet feel I need to get any more power than that. Also obvious is that he has way more top end , but on country highways you can't often go over 110 mph face it.

I'm thinking that with some upgraded heads mine will go over 100HP. This thing runs great with no backfiring or popping and has great power.

I came off of a 2006 GSXR 1000 and no matter how much money I dump into my wide glide it will never be as fast.

However, it has more torque than the GSXR did and that is a blast to ride around city streets(I am right outside of NYC).

I wouldn't fret too much about power, even if you get the power you still have to realize these bikes don't really like to lean. I've already scraped exhaust and pegs without trying to lean.

Hell, I could get a knee down if I wanted too.

I digress..

My 103 with HQ 0033 cams and headwork, CP 10.5 pistons, your results may vary. Requires use of HQ compression releases. (HD comp releases are not reliable, details available)
