Default Engine Build ???

Have a chance to buy a SE 103 kit, Cylinders, Forged Flat Tops, rings, SE 258 cams, valve springs, clutch springs gaskets for about half of retail price.

I currently have SE AC and RH true duals with SERT.

I am curious about the cam that this guy has, HD SE Catalog says it is designed for Higher compression engines. What will be the result if running it with stock heads? Will the SE flat tops raise my compression from the stock 9.2:1 ??

I know there are better builds out there but for the cost I am thinking I may take it.

Thanks for any input.

Find a local builder and see what they think. Also, what do you want out of the bike?
