I would lean toward the 103 and get cams and the heads. If your going to do may as well go BIG [8D]

I was looking into the same thing. I was told the 95 inch hot set up will get more power than the 103. The 103 is also considerably more expensive and requires machining. I don't remember the exact prices but the 103 was more than double the price of the 95.

you did not mention what year bike you are going to do this to if it before 07 i would forget the 103 this would mean splitting the cases and stroking the motor which is not recommended on the twin cam 88b. it would be noisy and run ruff and its not worth the price. the 95 big bore with cams and heads will do you right

The 95 or 98 (available here) will give you the biggest bang for the buck.

The 95 with good cams and tune will give the largest gain. You don't see as much improvement from the 95 to the 103.

The 103 is a stroked 95.
