I've ridden a Road King with the kit, SE heads and cams, etc. and it was some nice roll-on power. Definately wears out the 'ole rear tire (and stock starter) much faster...

Default RE: 103 engine kit

I just got mine out of the shop. Did the 103" kit, S&S 570 gear driven cams, roller rockers, 1.4k Starter, and an oil cooler. My first impressions are that it has extremely more torque, and wants to run like a bat outta hell. I only have 400 miles on it so far. I can tell you that trying to keep it under 60 and vary the RPM's is a difficult task. I have no idea what the numbers are yet but seat of the pants riding has me smiling. Was it worth the money? To me yes most definitely. I will do a dyno run at about 1-1.5k and use the SERT for tuning. The added cam noise is noticable, a bit more mechanical sounding, but not at all annoying. Hope this helps and i will let you know more with more miles.
