Hey guys, I'm a newer member and looking for a little wisdom. I hadn't planned on doing anything to the motor of my 2007 street bob quite yet, but then I found some s&s super stock heads for $500. So why better time than now right?
Right now my bike is stock, other than a thunderheader and arlen ness big sucker. I'm not wanting anything crazy just yet, just a little more oomph at the bottom end. I do plan to do a 107 big bore down the road, but it'll be awhile. So I was looking for advice as to what cam I should run, and some suggestions on a tuner.
Still new to all this, so please dumb any info down for me.
Thanks,
Jake
if your looking for low end TQ,get a set of S&S .551 cams.use your stock heads & set the compression at 9.8-1.the S&S heads will help in the upper mid to high RPMs
Are the S&S heads the 79cc or the 89cc? The 79cc are bolt on for stock engines. The 89cc will require either matching S&S pistons, or larger valve reliefs cut into your pistons. The 89cc has 2" intake valves, which is why they need the valve reliefs. Great price on the heads.

I'm thinking that's pretty close to what I spent on parts with I took my 88 up to a 95, and I didn't buy the clutch spring, filter, or plugs...
