Default ATTN: Engine Experts

I have an '07 Dyna Wide Glide with stage 1 and Python pipes with the Powerchamber in it (same as the V&H BSS). Next week I'm getting a big bore 103 kit installed with polished heads and S&S 585 gear drive cams. The bike will also be Dyno tuned after install. What should I expect in terms of hp and torque gains? The stage 1 Dyno tune read 74hp and 83.5 torque. Also, I'd like to keep the same pipes on it (with the stock baffles) but the shop thinks that after the work I might need to change the baffles. Any thoughts? And if so, any suggestions on some other baffles and where to get them?
Thanks much! Your input is appreciated! Scott

Not knowing the compression ratio, and what the heads flow, is hard to toss a number out at you.
Our 103", with the littleBob Wood TW-6G have shown 113-115 hp and have recorded up to 127 ft/lbs.
