Default Engine Work S$S or Headquarters

So I have been out of work for over 6 months and cant ride either ruptured my tendon in my ankle at work so I havent been able to ride but I have saved up some cash So finally doing the motor I NEED MO POWER..... So its between the S&S 106 kit, 585 Cams, and S&S Super Stock Heads..... Or should I do the complete headquarters 107 package headquarters mills your heads and cylinders opposed to S&S you get new ones.. Just wondering what you guys thought I should do any input would be helpful anybody run this same setup??

One of my friends has an S&S 106 with those cams in his Road King; really good torque...I've got the HQ 33G cams in my 103 with their heads; also a real torquer...what does your builder prefer/sell...I'm kind of an HQ fan myself but wouldn't hesitate to look at S&S; they're both well established...

Not to be a dick but if I was unemployed my money would stay in the bank until I healed up and returned to work.

Maybe the op hurt himself at work and is on disability.

To the op. I wish I had that problem in deciding. Can't go wrong with more power

I think they both are good packages.What are you looking for with build hp? or tq? What kind of comp are you going to run with the S&S 585 cam? With the headquarters pacakge what cams are involved??? Are the heads going to be cc'd?? or are you going with advertised comp??

Builder prefers both, my goal is just for more power I am not a numbers guy so I really dont care to have the big numbers on the dyno aslong as the bike rides well and the power and TQ are nice. If I could get a 110 split I would be happy....

Fuel Moto has a nice 107" kit . They have a thread in the bagger section on it . Perhaps you could look that up , maybe something you'd be interested in . Also...you'll lose some performance with those pipes .
