Default power bug strikes again.

Well, ive been riding my HQ powered Dyna around for like 5 years now.

Its been great, I got everything I was promised in the build, but i did down grade the build alittle because I was bit concerned about having issues with fuel quality.

I came across some 11.0 to 1 CP pistons awhile back and had my original jugs bored for them, but after i got rear ended in July 2007 i kinda lost interest in jacking around with the engine and I tried (unsuccsessfuly) to sell my ride.

two weeks ago a long time friend that now lives out of state called me, it had been three years since ive talked to him, and hes called to tell me he finanlly go his first Harley!!

I want to meet up in the summer and ride with the guy.

Ive decided to finish what I started a couple of years ago.

Ive just ordered TMan .590 cams (thank PhilM for that)! and Jims roller rockers and SE billet cam plate.

Im so looking forward to this!

Im not expecting HUGH power gains here, just a little more top end power.
If my crank runout is more than .003 then Ill be doing a 107, but if its cool im going to put the taller CP pistions in, and then im going to try my hardest to burn it down!!!

Well it seems like the Tman cams are starting to become more & more popular! I just ordered some Tman 625's! I can't wait to see how these perform in my 103". Keep us updated when you get it back together.

So are his prices.... lol several months back, his "street performer" port job was $650. Now it's in the mid $800 price range. Not sure why his price increased. Not like you're getting anything more than some headwork. He's not but a few hours from me and now that the weather is nice, I want to take a ride up there.

$800 for a set of heads? WOW

"This CNC head is not hand finished to keep this an affordable upgrade, yet can be used as a great building block for furture head upgrades by T-Man Performance."

ADD $95 for compression releases.

So $900 total?

FYI, Joe is getting his heads done (stock valves) Compression releases, crank trued/welded and upgraded lefty bearing for $650! It would have been another $150 for bigger valves.

Not 'cut in stone', but here is an idea what you might be looking at.
