Check and see if any of the shops are offering "winter pricing"? When I had the stage II 103 done on my 2010 Street glide last year the dealer I went with had a special that included big bore kit, se pst, labor, and dyno tune for about $2000. It was assumed most bikes already had an exhaust system and air filter, so those were extra. Total cost for my project was a little over $3200 with exhaust and all the adds (oil cooler and a couple other trinkets).

 

I love my SE 103 kit. Night and day difference over the stock 96. That being said, you can do pretty well just getting a tuner, tune and cam for the 96. You will be about 7 or 8 hp and 7 or 8 ft lbs of torque less than the 103 depending on the cam. I wouldn't pay the money again for the 103 knowing what I do now, but I am still happy if that makes any sense. I'm at about 90 hp and 100ft lbs of torque with the 103 and 255 cam. My numbers would be higher with a different exhaust, but I wanted more sound so I gave up a little power going with true duals vs power duals.

There is lots of information on this site about this issue, search and you will find.

 

Good info, thank you very much.
