If you just want a liitle more power do what I did, get a good air cleaner, a Fat Cat with the quiet baffle, HQ500 cam and a SERT with a good tune, my bike makes 90HP and 93 Torq.
It runs great, but I am still going to do a complete HQ 103 kit down the road.

I'm doing the 103 sometime along here and will not be using any compression releases. A rule of thumb is anything 10 and over for compression needs releases.

I had the SE stage II kit, SEST and Reinhart Slip-ons installed before I picked up my bike in mid-April. I had the bike dyno'ed by the dealer at 1000 miles. I currently have 4300 miles and I have had no problems. The bike really pulls good.

Since you asked, brettnbama, and nobody has mentioned this indy yet, I am glad to recommend to you to give Wes a call at Cycle Rama in Largo, FL for a 107 or 114 build: (727) 546 - 0889 -- www.cycle-rama.com .
