Who's your indie? Lookin for a good one here in Denver myself. Anyway, I put Andrews 37 in mine this spring. Did this in anticipation of big bore kit this summer. If I wasn't doing the kit, I prolly would have gone with the 26. 37's in the 88 with just A/C and Longshots and Fuelmoto PCIII come on strong at around 2300 and pull much better than stock til I back off. I know I'm giving up potential power til I get the BB kit, but I like em. In town 3rd gear, I'm right at 2200, so just a twist and i'm there. Good luck!

I've been talking to Randy at Speedwrench. He hasn't done any work yet but I've talked to him a couple times. He was recommended to my by a friend. I like the idea of having one person I can go to for all my work. If I take it to a dealer I don't know who is going to work on it or what their experience is.

Woods 777 cam, with Vance & Hines H.O. 2 into 1, or H.O. slip-ons (with no cat. performance headpipe of your choice) show the best dyno results according to my Harley Dealer, This set is really awesome on 110 screamin'eagles. Before you people start to bash the "Harley Dealer" these are his credentials: 30+years Top Fuel Drag Bike racing, Record holder for Worlds fastest Panhead. He has 100s of dyno runs in different combinations for whatever upgrade a customer is looking for. Check www. docs harleydavidson Bonduel, WI.

I have heard from a couple other guys that he does good work.

I think I've settled on a cam for my 103. After reviewing some of the characteristics of a number of cams, I narrowed my search. I contacted Andrews and based on my riding style, intended mods and also altitude (I live in Denver), Gary Wallace recommended the 48H for my situation. This will go with the Roland Sands Clarity A/C and Monster Rounds. The headers will be fullsac x-pipe C recommended by Doc. Doc also approved of the 48H.
It's been a learning experience and I'm far from being as knowledgeable as I'd like to be but I had to start somewhere.
Big thanks to everyone for your input. It really helped me get the information I needed. I'll post how it comes out after the installs and tune.

Good to know. I'll post the results of the whole experience when I'm finished with the installs and tune.
