'07 FXDWG going to 103 with 10:1 flat tops, stock heads, Woods TW6-6, SE A/C and PCIII. I'm not sure about the head gaskets to use here. Should the .030s be used and if so can I still use the stock pushrods with this .020 difference(I believe the stock head gaskets are .050)? Any other input appreciated. Thanks.

Have almost exactly the same configuration. I use the S&S easy install pushrods, but I believe you can use the stock pr with the Cometic 0.030 as the TW6 should be set at .120-.140 preload.
You will really want to set that squeeze at 10:1.
And not to complicate a "simple" build, but a 1.900" intake valve will bring it on as well.
And as long as we are on the subject of building power, J&E offers a 3.935" piston that allows a machine shop to establish a 107" with your cylinders.
We do this all the time.
