107 with 551?
Ok so now I'm on the hunt to upgrade to a 107, not looking for anything wild but looking for a mild setup. I already have the S&S 551 cams installed so my next Question is will the cams I have, work with a 107 or does anyone have this setup and happy with it?
Next Question, which brand of 107 is king out there, should I get heads or will the stock head work fine.
Thanks for any input

I have the S&S 106" bolt in kit with the 89cc SuperStock heads and the 551 Cams, 58mm Throttle Hog with SE Injectors. It's a great set up, mild is what I call it for sure, but I'm in search of even more power, so I'm changing cams. The next step to go without losing bottom end power is the MR103 from S&S.
so who has the best kit? I like S&S. they have been around for decades. They are reliable. Make people can do head work to produce more power, but S&S is tried and true.
Hey 2013 FLHTK, what heads are you running and how do you like your suspension? I'm about to do my suspension next.

I will buy the 103" dyno in #2 but having a tough time believing the 107" dyno; 130TQ is 1.2 and change per cubic inch which can be achieved but without knowing more about the build configuration and the dyno, not sure I believe it.
I would have second thoughts about running 551 cams in a 107" motor. Even with a .045" head gasket corrected CR is up about 9.8 and CCP approaching 210psi; pushing the envelope for me but, that's just me and I would have to hear from someone running that configuration before pulling the trigger. I understand wanting to keep the cams but a cam change and head work might be the best move with the additional displacement.
You did not mention fuel management in your OP. If you have not installed a fuel management system and had the current build properly tuned, you might invest in a tuner and proper tune. You might find that by optimizing the current configuration, the added performance might allow you to forego the displacement upgrade for the immediate future. Even with a good fuel management system, I would suspect the 551 cams in a 107" configuration to be a tuning challenge.
JMHO.

Me thinks that the 551 is a bit short for a 107".
Minimum compression on those, even with a .040" head gasket comes in at 10.0.
Puts the ccp up there at 210 plus.......you ain't gonna like that.
