great read! So much experience shared...

I'm more of a, "try it," kind of person and that gets me in over my head sometimes but I learned how to swim a long time ago...

and then there is rule #1...you can always go back the way it was if what you are trying doesn't work. Then you know for sure.

If you're wanting some more fun when you twist your wrist, you might do just as well, to put a 95" big bore kit, and a little headwork... will more than keep up with a stock 96.
This is definitely what I would recommend, unless you lucked into the newer engine/tranny for free... My 95" Twin Cam makes over a hundred horsepower...

You might want to increase that to 1/8 or larger.. Remember the primary is rubber mounted and the bracket is mounted to the frame. On decel it can rub.
