The intake closing number of the 555 warrants a compression increase to support it, as it should be. 10.25 is it.
That said, simply boring to 107" with a flat top piston would do it.
Cam only?
Mighty tough to beat an Andrews 48 in both a 96" or 103".
Happy to help.

I have a 2011 Heritage with the Andrews 37H cams , power vision/target tune, Freedom Tru duels. It's great at low end torque and no down shifting when passing.
Even with duels it moves. Very happy with them. I will be doing a Screamin Eagle 110 kit later this year.

I have a 09 FXSTC I started with a 30 tooth front pulley and a 70 tooth rear. That alone helped getup and go tremendously and I can cruise on the highway in 6th gear at 65-70 now instead of 80+.
Next I installed a set of SE 204 cams. This changed the entire characteristic of the bike, it sounded better, ran better, and most of all responded better and pulls through the rev range much quicker. My exhaust isn’t good but I love the looks and sound. I got V&H bigshots with thunder monster baffles.
I've since upgrading the motor to a 0 mile 2016 softail 103 cylinder and head takeoff from a local guy who bought his bike and had a 110” kit installed before even taking delivery including the ACRs.

Hi dj, I did leave the 204 cams, I added the SE 1.7 rockers and .030 head gaskets and the bike has a Thundermax computer which I love as tuning is easy. Im happy with it, it goes good.

Flat top and 8.5cc's for 98"s.
Not made in China.
