i hear what you are saying, i just don't want to spend time and money doing a 107 only to get the itch a year later and wish i would have just gone 117. the fact that i have 103 and only adding 4ci is the other thing. i just don't know it would make a huge difference....then again, i see what some do with a 98 and begin thinking that a well built 107 could be what i am looking for. maybe, like you suggest, i should just check the runout first and go from there.

Or pm Randy on here ( kingofcubes) as his site has doesn't break down his kits or prices.

If you were to skip the big bore then you might have to worry about the stock piston valve reliefs not being big enough to handle bigger cams, something that aftermarket pistons do a much better job of.
Bottom line, I think you will be happy with a nice 107" with headwork, but if you have plenty of $$$ then a 117" would be a blast but a fairly big increase in cost too.

i don't have a particular number in mind per se, but i think anything over 115/115 would most likely suit me for quite some time. i love the feel of a strong pull....like hold on tight or be sitting on the pavement, so the more tq the merrier! there was a nice change from stage 1 to adding the 222 cams, but i just still want more. i wouldn't be opposed to spending as much as 4000 if it was a vast change. if i could get what im looking for without splitting the cases and spending half that, then i would look at those options. i just don't want to do 107, then be slightly disappointed and wish i would have done 117. i know for a fact i could add the 107 myself, but i have no experience nor the tools to split and bore cases. i guess at the end of the day i'm wondering with some great headwork, how strong could a 107 go? part of me just feels like i won't see that much difference with 4ci difference.

If you are willing to go all in on the headwork($1000+), get bigger cams, 107" BB, and raise your compression up to about 10.5:1 to 10.8:1, and good 2 into 1 pipes(not sure what you have) then I think 115/115 is a slam dunk.
I had a local indy split/reseal my cases and install the Timken bearing on the left side and package my crank for Darkhorse for $500 plus about $40 shipping.
Your cylinders will be bored out by any of a multitude of shops - not something to be done at home.
