103" sounds good to me because I don't want to have to delve into the cases. But yes, if I had my druthers I'd have a huge inch motor to rip up the land on!
I am running the sport touring HQ 103 build. This consists of 10.5 to 1 compression, HQ ported heads and HQ 575 cams.

I do not have dyno results for the bike. I was planning on taking the bike to a tuner in PA (JD's) We have been trying to get on the same page for awhile and have yet to hook up. However he did a tune on an indentical bike and HQ set up. Same exhaust and AC too which he was nice enough to send me a map to. That set up was approximately 110 ft lbs of torque and 100 hp. I am sure there is more in therehowever since installing that and tweaking it slightly the bike runs great. I don't want to spend $400 on a tune and then tear the motor apart and have to spend another $400 to tune the next motor set up. I already am spending some money twice by upgrading again after only 2000 miles. I wish the heads would work on my FXST (wrong color) as I would just switch them over to that bike. It pains me to lose the $2500 I spent on the HQ parts. I am hoping I can sell them and recover some of my costs. If you or anyone you know would be interested just let me know.

I bought them before I knew better. I had a nice long conversation with Kevin today at Head Quarters about cams. My best advice I can give to you is give him a call and tell him what you have, what you are planning to do, and he'll sell you the right cam you need for your riding style and for your motor. I'm going to 95" and head work over winter, and I'll be installing the HQ-0034-G in my motor. Tech line (678) 939-8029 (Kevin) HTH

I started out with the Stage I and was pleased. Then added true duals and couldn't believe how much torque I lost. So, I did the Stage II, with SE 255 cams, and am very pleased. Lot's of power and it sounds and feels great. It was expensive but worth it.

Just did a stage II 103 HD kit. SE 255 cams, SE racing tuner, stock heads, Rinehardt true duals, BUB exh, SE air cleaner and 3 hrs dyno time. Man oh Man, does that make a difference in my '08 Ultra. I think I will be happy now without doing the heads. 100 MPH is no problem, and fuel mileage is the same, but bottom end grunt and acceleration from 0 to 80 is about 30% better than stock the 96 motor had. I Highly recommend this stageII build, and for $3400, nothing ads more value to the ride. I still don't like the high gearing though, going 10 MPH in low gear at idle is too dam fast, but at least Now, I can pull it!

GREAT THREAD GUYS....
I just ordered my Stage II 103 kit this week from Chicago Harley. I just wanted to wake up my 08 Ultra a little bit without voiding the warranty...

Kevin, is this the setup you are running? What bike do you have and do you have any dyno numbers from this setup?

Thanks,

Scott

I don't think you will go wrong with the woods cam. Call Bobby and talk to hom, he'll tell you to go with.
