Default Clutch mods necessary w/ 100 torque

I'm getting cams and an A/C installed over our winter and hope to get 100tq out of my 96" motor in a Road King. Is clutch work going to be necessary because of future slippage? Thanks

you can get away with the stock springs if you want, many go to the spring used on the cop bikes (37871-98A) rather than all the way to the SE spring as it's not as hard to pull.

I think the 11 flhr with the 103 come with the heavy clutch spring...

I'd go with the suggested -98A spring.

I'm using the 98A spring with my FM 107" kit and it works fine with 122trq at the rear wheel.
