Well was at a rally and they had a dyno, so I decided to see what mine was putting out. I wasn't impressed I thought the 103 would do better, put out 77 HP and max torque was 93. My map from fuel moto was spot on for the air/fuel ratio, I gutted the cat on it, put a heavy breather and has RC components slip ons. Granted it only has 300 miles and still needs some breaking in, I still thought it would do better...

Yeah, but are YOU happy with the way it rides and performs? That's ALL that counts!

Maybe your expectations were a bit too high. It sounds like it's running perfect. How's the mileage? With your minor mods you haven't really done anything to the motor except let it breathe better. I've got almost the same setup and I've got more than enough power and I'm still pulling 44 mpg. There are lots of other mods you can do, but then there goes your mileage, wallet, drivability and possible reliability. I'd be pretty happy with what you've got. Ride safe, Brother!
So u have a basic set up sounds like a stage 1. That's not bad numbers. If ur looking for more ur gonna have to open up the wallet. I have a stage 4 SE setup. I pulled a 108hp and 97tg. It all depends on what u want it's still better then a stock 88 or 80 evo motor good luck safe riding.
...gee...my 88 is at 74hp...with just a stage 1....the 103 is sure low in the HP numbers...the Torque is all that counts though...I'm at just under 80...so ya got me there!

By way of comparison, my 09 96", with stage 1 intake, stock headpipe, and monster ovals, dyno tuned with SERT, came in at 78 HP and 93 max torque. That was tuned at 1000 miles.
This is why Im not overly exited by the 103 upgrade this year.
My 07 that was almost identical, but with V&H ovals, and true duals, but was a stage 2 103 WITH the 255 cams, came in at 79 hp and 102 torque, if I remember correctly.
