2011 Street Glide 96ci
Upgrades that I've already done:
Woods 777 Cam, SE Adjustable Pushrods, Heavy Duty Springs, SE Heavy Breather Kit, SE Super Tuner, D&D Fat Cat 2 into 1 exhaust and an Energy One Clutch.
I purchased some Screamin Eagle heads with the Casting Numbers: 16927-08, 16928-08 on them with compression releases. My question is, "by installing these heads, will I get any more performance than I am presently getting out of my stock heads"?
If not, any suggestions for the heads, so that they can be used?
Just by looking at the casting numbers all that I can tell you is they were manufactured in 2008 for a 96" motor. It would be useful if you could come up with the part # to tell which heads they actually are.

Let me guess, the part number won't be located on the heads anywhere?
If it is they will be stamped in. It is common practice, not only by H-D, to identify a bare unfinished casting with it's own part number, but it can then be machined (and finished in different colours etc) to several or even many final part numbers. If you know what model and year bike they came off we may be able to narrow things down.
