In your opinion what do you think the dyno numbers would be and what is it about this combo the performance that you yourself would like?

It's go to go @ Hiway speeds. I can be in 5th doin 70 and turn it 1/2 throttle and look down and I'm doin' 90 or 100 (No strain)
It's smoother than stock. My wife has an 03 FI model (Heritage) it's stock just with pipes & a/clnr and it has the dreaded 70-80 mph "buzz" like mine had . . . But mine is as smooth as glass at 70-85 (or better).
Over 100, it buzzes a little. How often do we go over 100 . . . seriously?
Point being, plenty of roll on power. Thats what I wanted.
Gotta go . . . SOA is on . . . Season premier . . . eeeeeeeeeven.

Never had it on the dyno but I'd outrun my buddies 96ers with stage one all day long.
Great setup minus the Ultima 6 speed, which took a crap on me after about 20k miles.

I have SE 203's in my 05 FLHT. Rinehart True Duals, and a Ness Big Sucker with a carb. It came with the cleaner and pipes, and when my mechanic was installing the new tensioner kit @ 22, 500 miles(as you should) the old cams had a small wear mark, so we changed them out. He recommended the 203's, said I'd be faster between stop lights. It does feel a little faster, and sounds a little better, and eats a little more gas. No Dyno #'s, sorry. Is it the ideal setup, probably not. No 2 into 1 pipes, even though I've toyed with that idea, Just like the looks and sound of those true duals. I've never not been able to keep up though.

With the 203's I had the 95" kit, high compression flat top pistons, 42mm mikuni carb, SE race tuner, and an Ultima 6 speed trans.

My set up is in my sig below. Tq/HP from my dyno. I went from stage 1 tc88 to this config at about the 30K mile mark. Based on my riding style, my shop recommended the 203 cams and this config. I could not be happier; won't change it/them. The power curve is very smooth when I want to twist on it. Also, I found that the 203s give a bit of "lope" to the engine at idle -- sounds a bit 'ole school' especially when combined with the TDs.
