96 inch build options
I am looking to add some power to my semi stock engine.
I already did a stage 1 to it and am looking at my options for the next step.
Not sure if I want to go all the way to a 107 build right now or do this thing in steps.
Would a cam that is intended for a big bore build work OK with the stock pistons?
I don't want to buy a cam for this engine and need to swap it out when I go up in cubic inches.
Anyone keep the same bore and just up the compression to match the higher end cam?
What kind of power difference would I see between a high compression 96 inch and a comparable 107 inch build?
I would still do headwork with either of the builds that would have new pistons.
The primary use for this engine will be touring.
Sounds like I am rambeling
Any imput would be great.

I just stuck a SE-204 cam in my 09 FLTR. I got around 82hp and 99ft/lbs torque. Also alot of the touring crowd has been going with the SE-255 cam. If you don't ride above 4000 rpm, then you might consider that an option. There are lots of cam options available, it's just a matter of chosing the right one to suit your riding style. I've heard alot of good things about Woods, Andrews, and HQ cams also.

I still can't decide between the 204 and 255. There are PCIII maps out there for 255s, but none for 204s that I can find. I want to run the bike for a bit before I dyno it, in case I decide to do heads as well. I've been told by reputable sources that the 255s work wonderful in a stage 1 96" motor. Personally I like the sound of the 204s better, and they seem to make about the same numbers. The trick is finding a deal on them, as Harley quoted my $300 for the 204s.
