man, a 100 hp sporty would be BEAST!!!!!!!!!! Wish mine was there already but alas. Im hearing that the Buell 1200 heads are AWESOME for the 1200 sportys. Already machined too. You can probably find a set at a salvage/ scrap/ boneyard... Cheap too. Cams are $$$$$$ just about any way you slice it.
I think any reasonable person who knows their car/ truck would be able to notice a 20 HP increase. Those things are WAAAYYY heavy, and your bike is not. 20 horses is kind of a big deal. I am upgrading from sideshots and a fuel pak, to the V&H Comp. series 2-1 and a PCV, and im gonna be happy with another 5-10 hp. I'd hit the floor for 20. Best of luck with the mods, and please let us know how they turn out!

It totally depends where on the power-band the increase is vs where and how you ride.
An increase in peak-power of 25% should be pretty noticeable, provided you ride the power curve, and not the torque-curve like many HD riders do because they "feel" the tq curve more, and don't like running their engines over 5k RPM.
If you're someone who never hits red-line, that's some money to drop for a little more seat-of-the-pants thrill.

You better bet you will notice it, but you will probably only be happy with it for about a year and then you will be lookin for more.
