You can also have your jugs bore to match a particular set of pistons, buy a set of GOOD cams, & gaskets pretty reasonably.

I think to operative word in your statement was "cheap".

Most on here will tell you to get cams, heads, etc...

But I can say I really like my stage 1 103 just as is. I think it has plently of pull compared to my last 96". Guess it depends on what you expect and what you want to spend. I may too end up with cams or headwork later...but I don't feel the need now. JMHO

I found you get more for less if you go with a different build than the SE kits, you should at least see 100/100 out of a decent cheap 103" build. opposed to the 80/85 of the SE kit. I have a pretty basic build and when on the dyno last july was seeing closer to 110hp in the California heat.

hey dmp, whats the difference between the 103 and the SE103? next ques, I take it you like the 560 cam. Do you have a dyno to post? I am in a major debate between many different cams and the andrews 550 (55H) is at the top of the list of suggested cams but have not seen a dyno from a high lift long duration andrews.

sorry bobberino, didn't mean to hijack.

Well the SE103 is the kit that Screaming Eagle offers other 103 builds give you more options I went with a high compression set of pistons 10.8/1 and the 560 is the biggest you can get into the softail motor without machining out the cam case. The heads are the SE heads with the manual compression release then they go in and do a little tweeking and then bench flow them. When I had that motor built I just dropped the bike off and told the shop how much power i wanted and that I wanted to be able to ride it without any problems. when I picked it up they told me what they ended up doing to it. I don't have a sheet to post, i was there when he dyno'd the bike and i didn't really care for a sheet at the time. I have to go in for my 5000 service and he was going to dyno it again at that time, so i'll be sure to get a sheet then. On my ultra we're going to go bigger maybe 117.
