The larger displacement makes a difference in the sound no question.&nbsp\\; Let me know how the Thundermax does with the build.

i'm doing the same thing at the end of the season.... i already did the cams (Head Quarters TC-500s)
&nbsp\\;
I was going to do the SE 103 Bolt in and send the heads out to Head Quarters for port and polish, but HQ says not to!...says components should all be consistent...makes sense, i suppose
&nbsp\\;
and for tuning, i'm using a PC3 now... and may just keep it and dyno tune everything once the build is complete

just give Doug honest info on what you want your bike to do and how u ride and you will not be disapointed!
&nbsp\\;
If he says get rid of the PC, do it! They do not "polish" the heads but it dosnt make more power anyway!

well, i've been corresponding with Kevin... and he's suggested sending the cylinders and heads to Doug .... what do they do with the heads if they don't port and polish them? ...rebuild them with appropriate valves and springs based on the build?

ports and combustion chambers are reshaped,
but not *polished*
