RE: 95" upgrade
If you add cams to the equasion, the heads will most certainly make a difference. With stock cams, the S/E heads (at leaset the S/E "Performance Heads") will increase the compression ratio a bit and will not work well with the stock cams (that are designed for 8.9 ~ 9:1 CR).
Now you ask, then which cams? LOL.....
PLenty of banter on the site about that...
Search on cam selection, or something like that on this forum.
Good luck & welcome to the site!

RE: 95" upgrade
From everything I've read, and every pro builder I talked to, the heads are not worth the money. You get more bang for the buck having your heads reworked: ported, light polish, 3 angle valve cut, and better springs (lightweight beehive).
You're going to change the pistons anyway, so you can have whatever compression ratio matches your cam and altitude best.

hdshovel98, get the Power Commander from Dynojet. Don't take my word for it (I had one on my 05 Nightrain and loved it) read the article in the Sep06 American Iron Magazine. Very informative.

All I had done when I put the PC on was V&H Big Shots Staggered and Hypercharger. I was about to do cams, big bore, heads and throttle body when we got hit by a drunk illegal mexican on the 12th of August.
