RE: 103???????????????
The bike dyno'd at 90 hp and 105ft/lbs torque. That was with Samson fishtail slip on mufflers. I just ordered the V&H pro hs pro pipe and will be once again getting it dyno'd on the 24th. I was having a problem with stalling at lights and stop signs, so i had the stock map reinstalled (for free) and i am waiting for the V&H to arrive. There is a great difference between the stock 88 and the 103 but i cant speak for the 95. Its all about torque! While hp is good, torque will definitly make you smile.

I have a SE 103 EFI kit on the way in about a week for my 05 WG. My dealer had a real good deal on it and I agree with you. Not knocking 95 or 98, but high compression risks detonation, heat, etc.. And I know there are some high quality / informed 95 / 98 builders on this forum, they do a great job & I commend them.
Why I like the 103:
1. Makes easy torque, torque is king.
2. Low compression = no detonation, easy on starter clutch.
3. Backed up & serviced by Harley dealers.
4. Heat less of a concern than a high comp. 95 / 98.
5. SERT dyno tune gets about 100 / 100 easily.
6. SE 103 script on the heads looks cool IMO.
7. Mild head work & cams gives big potential.
Also, I am adding the Premium Oil cooler.
Ride on.

103 with CNC Heads...If you're gonna go...Go BIG.
JMHO, but I'm biased! Am breaking in my 103 now. About 170 mi so far & was on highway today at 75 mph, rpm<3000 & she was ready to dash. Can't want for a couple of hunderd more. You will run out of testosterone before you run of of pull!!!

RE: 103???????????????
Just my two cents worth. As someone already pointed out, the 103 is going to be significantly more expensive than the 95 since you have to split the case. So, if you're going to spend the extra money to have the case split and machined to accept the bigger cylinders you may as well step up to the HD 113 kit. It's not going to cost you that much more money than doing the 103.

Hey if we are going to the 113 why not just yank the motor and put a Jims 120 in it. Now that's what I am talking about!!!!!!!!!!!!!
