Tire Shredder Heads
Hey guys. Does anyone out there know if the heads that come in the "Stage 5 Tire Shredder Kit" are any different/better than the factory heads that came on 110 CVO's? If so, how are they different? I have been trying to find info on them and have been having a hard time.

If you do indeed have a 110 cvo you would be wasteing your money on a new set of heads. Take that money and have yours worked by a good porter and you'll have even better flow numbers and more power....

Cvo 110 uses a larger combustion chamber and larger valves, similar to the mva heads. Because of the larger combustion chamber it takes domed pistons to create higher compression.
The 110 tire shredder kit comes with factory ported 103 heads. They flow better than a factory 103 head but not as good as a set ported by one of the many builder on this forum.

There is a huge diference between a cvo110 head and the tire shredder 110 heads.

After talking with Steve @ GMR and Frank @ Dragos, I decided to just buy the 110 CI drop-in Jug and piston kit. I bought the Dragos Stage 2.5 Heads and H-Pipe exhaust. I took all my goodies to Steve @ GMR he did my install and tune with the GMR 577 cam and GMR Compensaver and new SE Compensater The compression was set at 10.3
122 HP and 128 TQ, over a 100 #'s TQ from below 2000 to almost 5800 RPM
Instant on TQ and pulls hard all the way out to redline
IMO...there are much better combinations than the Stage 5 tire shredder kit.
Call, Hillside, GMR, Dragos or any of the good builders and have them design a setup for you.
Now, all of them are going to want to sell you their 107 Kit instead of the 110 drop-in kit, but for me and my need for lots of low end TQ, to pull my heave trike, I wanted and needed as many CI's as I could afford. I just politely told them this is what I want to do, now what have you got that will help me.
Put together right, this 110 CI drop-in kit will make you grin like a Hyena

From what I gather, the heads offered in the Stage 5 kit leave a lot on the table. On that note, would I get a flatter torque curve going with something like a set of Fuel Moto Level B heads? Do you know if these heads would even work with this kit? I think I could get a pretty good deal on them if I have my factory 103 heads and heads from the kit to offer in exchange. Like I have said, peak numbers don't concern me. I want big torque early that carries all the way through.

The 110 kits seem to be working out, holding up and making decent power. It is however, common knowledge that head porting and aftermarket cams can enhance the performance of any motor compared to one of the HD kit offerings.
