TTS 100's will give over 110 tq. and 90 ish hp without pulling the heads. On a dyna I might try the TTS-150s instead.

Good advice. Cams only, no headwork, good tune! Cheap and way more fun. If your buddy has tq hitting hard at 3200 he'd be behind you more than not riding on the street.

I keep forgetting about the TTS 100; good call. They were hard to get at one time and only one source........

Instead of wasting money on the oil pump/cam plate, pull the heads and cylinders and bore to 103.. Run a 54 or 57 cam andrews cam. cometic 0.030 HG One of the better dollars to performance ratios if you buy the stuff on line.
