Cdonis if you're watching, the bobcat does well on the big motors if you were wondering here it is.
hell yeah! I'm surprised to see that little 3 step pipe doing that well with Scott's 110 heads and a 64mm tb. Good nuff fur me. What might those heads flow I wonder?

Obviously not run on the same dyno, but my 117" is about 8hp and 1tq less, I've got a little less compression, a little less TB (58) and a little less cam (S&S 585). More interestingly, I've got ported 96" heads (WFOLarry Stg 2+). I was debating using 110 heads, but ultimately decided to stick with what I had.

To be honest, I don't really know what the difference between the 96/103 and the 110 head is. I assume different combustion chamber shape, and probably better ports? I'd guess a mildly worked 110 head flows as good as a heavily worked 96/110 head? I know you need different pistons for each.

2 different builds.
If you are looking for more power, Larry can surely hook you up.
