Only things I've heard is that the 110 runs H-O-T and the compression is pretty low in an effort to control detonation/spark knock, which limits you on cam options and other performance mods.
It's hot, no doubt. My stage 2 103 Dyna also ran hot. My Sportster ran hot. I'm not sure which was hottest of the three. The Sportster felt the hottest.
It is a lower compression at 9.6:1. The torque is really well placed though. For my personal needs, I don't plan on adding more performance. If high performance is the goal, paying extra for the 110 probably wouldn't be logical anyway. As a stock platform with exhaust and a tune, it's a strong motor.
