My stock 96 was very disappointing as well, I did a 103 with 10.5-1 compression and some 254e cams. What a difference now I can pull away from almost anything. Even the stock 103 in my 2012 street glide pulls hard past 100mph. A little acura was feeling frisky the other day on the highway and lets just say there was no chance of him keeping up with my glide haha, went well past 110mph no problem.

I just had the opposite experience w/ my TC96B (High Flow A/C, Samson True Duals, PCV)...I couldn't believe how much power it had when I really got on it this weekend (hit 100 pretty easily w/out a passenger). Couldn't really compare to my brother's 110 Fat Bob, but it surprised me nonetheless. However, I didn't buy a Heritage to go fast.

Great here we go with the people saying anyone who goes above 100 is stupid. Then we go into the if you wanted to go fast get a rocket. Can we just not go there this time.
Mine is stock and pulls decent all the way to 110 or 115. Thats when I notice the drop

Great here we go with people failing to read between the lines. I didn't say that anyone that break's 100 is stupid, having done it on occasion myself.
It just appears that he doesn't like his old lady much running flat out with her on the back.
