Default Cams or 103"

I can't afford both right now, but I would like to improve performance somewhat. I don't need a rocket, but a bit more grunt would be nice. I currently have the FuelMoto package. Which would you do first, cams or 103"?

Thanks

My dealer says cam first. I did a cam on my lowrider. I felt the motor got more grunt.

Are you stating that if you went to a 103" you wouldn't change the cams?

I'm stating that, at this time, I can only do one or the other, so I would like to do the most advantageous first.

I just did cams on my '07 and can attest to a very nice performance improvement. I'm totally satisfied with the results. I didn't dyno it so I have no idea what it would look like on paper, nor do I care. I used Andrews 26H cams.

I disagree on going with gear drives on your '09 though, nothing wrong with those chains.

A 103" without head work and cams, is probably not going to make you very happy for the money spent towards the labor, I would go with the cam change. IMHO
