Do the 97 S3's have the thunderstorm heads and the hotter cams from the factory?

No.

98 S1W was the first ever Thunderstorm engine.

97 S3 will have the "Lightning" engine - a half-step between the S2 sportster engine, and the later Thunderstorm engine.

The '98 S3 (last carb'ed S3, just before the '99 switch to EFI) had the S1W Thunderstorm engine.

I'm not sure that's right. Pretty sure the 98 S1W was the only 98 that had the t-storm heads.

I'm with Fahren in the '98 heads. I don't have any documentation in front of me, though.
