Default Upgrading....which way to go??

I'm going to be upgrading Street Glides this week to a 2007. The questions is which engine upgrade to put in it. I'm lookingfor the most bang for the buck. Should I put in the 110in kit, or just go with a 103in? Opinions?

I just did the 103 stage II ( SE 255 cams)/SERT with the 4"Street performance slip -ons, the Cat ones don't perform as well as the one I have . It is a s far as you can go under warranty with the 103. I can't see the expense of going to the 110" . I've ridden the 110 and didn't think it had noticeably more power. My Stage IV 95" WG3 would outperform both. The new 103 build power very smoothly and comes on the cam at 3000 . It doesn't slam you back , but has a nice progressive gain. I've only got 350 miles on the build but I'm happy with it until warranty runs out. Then I'll at least add heads.

It's my understanding that you need to split the cases for the 110 build. A lot more work and expense for what you would get out of it.

I did the same at delivery. Nidan I agree, it won't slam you back, but you know it's there. Heads will be next after warranty.

Thanks for the info. I decided on a 103 kit with a 260 cam, upgraded pistons and head. Also going to install Bassani true dual exhaust, with Thunder Max tuner. I will let you know how the dyno turns out.
