Well, people love to shift at like 3300 RPM. I like to ride at 3100 lol.

There isn't a cam in the world that is gonna wake up a stock 103 at 2000 RPM I would think....

Downshift. Or build a bigger motor.

In fact most dyno charts dont even begin to register until about 2200.

Scroll down to the bottom of the page to see what I mean.

I have a 15 RGS with just a stage 1 and have no complaints at all. I have no trouble at all taking off from a stop. There are plenty of cams out there that will improve performance but not between 1 and 2k. If you haven't done a stage 1 yet maybe that would definitely help out.
