IMO just adding the 204's to my otherwise stock 96 was about the best money that I spent on it. Thought about going bigger in the future but 100ft/lbs at the rear wheel seems to be doing just fine.

 

I just did SE 211's ..
Very noticable change to me..
Id say go for it you can always add headwork / 103 stuff later...

 

personally i think it is a waste of time... well not time, money! after the cams you have to dyno, then after you do heads... may as well do it all at once

 

i just put the woods tw6 in and while i was doing it i went ahead and change pistons to the se flathead, and put new rockers and pushrods se adj, now i am getting close to 100 and a hundred torqe to rear, put comp releases in cause i am pushing 10.250 comp, bike runs like a raped ape i wanted to keep it reliable and not all bored and on and on at some point your just throwing good money after good money, i can now cruise at 60 and crank it down and pass someone in a heartbeat, if you want a drag racer buy a italian bike

 

lots of good info. thanks for the response

 

I've been thinking about this for a few weeks. I think I agree with Joe: save the money and then get a 103 big bore, new cams, and head work. One time on the dyno and you are done with engine work for as long as you own the bike.
At least thats how I feel now. Its tempting though to go incrementally and get the cams now!

 

I think the expression is 'throwing good money after bad' ... oh ... that's not what you meant ...

Yeah right ...!

Posting up the link below for your consideration ... I've been doing the incremental route ... I'm definitely not "done with engine work for as long as [I] own the bike" ... LoL ....

I plan on doing head work ... and possibly big bore ... down the road ....

Good luck with your decision ....

My T-Max auto tune took care of the tuning on mine. I did the cams then the heads, rockers and the .030HG and I was tuned at all times. I did advance my timing a bit in the lower R's because the A/T only does AFR.

 

No i don't think so.You would get more hp & tq with the right cam,headwork & a comp match;But you will still see some gains with just a cam change.The bike should also be dyno tuned when you change the cam. just pick a cam that would allow for some future growth should you decide to do a build later!!

 

I've had my eye on these guys (this build was in one of the bike mags recently). They are pretty close to where I live and Im tempted to just wait a year or so and just get the whole engine done:
