Default 103 Kit

Hello All, I have a 2002 Heritage Classic and I am looking at the 103ci engine kit. My bike is fed through a carburetor. As I looked on the Harley site I am only finding the kit for EFI. I was wondering if anyone knows if Harley is still making the kit for carbs.? Also I have 21k one my Harley and a friend said I should get the cam chain drive??? checked? Anyone know anything about this? He stated it has a tendency to stretch and could cause an catastrophic engine failure. Any help on theses two subjects would be greatly appreciated......

If you're going to spend the dineros on a major engine upgrade like a 103 kit, you should go with gear drive cams as just one more measure of dependability.

I have seen the cam chain tensioners wear back to the metal at a 100,000 ks.
