Evo head question
I know that this topic has been discussed in the past but they are "years" old. At least the ones that I had located.
I am looking to increase the ability of my 97 softail to be in the 80+ range in both hp and torque. Currently it is stock except for the better intake and screamin eagle slip on exhaust. I do have a set of 16 gauge double barrels that I will be installing soon.
I am leaning towards headwork or different heads and woods W6 cam. With $ being a driving factor I was debating on just changing the cam , lifters, cam bearing, and adjustable (quick type- so I don't have to remove the rocker boxes) Then at a later time the heads. All the sites that I have been to are looking for $700-$1000 for a decent street port type. (I have not called anyone just looking at the sites) I have seen screamin eagle heads being offered for under $800. Boardtracker if I remember correctly.
Would waiting for headwork or swap till later be a bad idea or an issue at all?
Are the reworked heads that much better and worth the cost? (Considering that I could sell my stock heads)
Any input would be appreciated
Thanks
Ken
