RE: Stock or modified engine?
I was content with the typical Stage I....air cleaner, slip-ons, reflash for 52k. I upgraded to gear drive cams and added a DFO after 5 years of ownership out of necessity. I've got an extra set of jugs and heads to do a 95" when the time comes. However, I refuse to tear apart a perfectly good top end till it needs it.

I'm just curious how many have been content with the stock setup or gone "internal" when it comes to engine mods.

Not doing anything to mine for the next couple of years - might change air-cleaner/pipes at some point.

RE: Stock or modified engine?
I've just done the Stage one so far. I will eventually do a sleeper set up on mine, I just haven't gotten the itch to do it yet. Bored stock jugs, ported heads, gear drive cams, bored throttle body, probably no more than 9.5:1 compression. I've been looking at doing roller rockers on this setup but haven't decided if it would be worth it. From what I can tell the gain is not that great for the cost.
My target would be around 100hp/100ftlbs TQ.

RE: Stock or modified engine?
I had the SE Stage 1 air cleaner, SE 16 gauge pipes & map done by the dealer before I picked up the bike new. Not sure if I'll go beyond this anytime soon. Performance is adequate for most all riding situations. Maybe if I stumble into some extra money that the wife can't figure out how to spend (yeah, right) I'd go for the 95", cams, port & polish, Baker 6 speed. But, no rush on that... I'd rather ride it than wrench it. Right now a better seat, bars that fit me better, easy clutch, self adjusting primary chain tensioner top the wish list.

Just bought a used 2002 FLSTC and it has a Screamin' Eagle 103 and a 6 speed transmission, high flow air cleaner and a Vance & Hines 2 into 1 exhaust. I thought it might be too much power, but I really like it.
RE: Stock or modified engine?
I have the big bore kit with screamin eagle heads, cams perfect fit push rods forged pistons and roller rockers. Once you have a machine like this you will never be able to ride a stock machine again as long as you ride. The difference is huge if I could only have one mod this would be it I would give up all the bling just to have the power.
