Fuel motor 107 kit is $1299, heads are $879. Plus you still need a tuner right? Thats another $800 for a Power Vision with AT. What about an air cleaner and injectors? Those need upgrades too right? See my point?

The muscle kit comes with all of that. Just swap the PV for a Thundermax. Price wise there isn't a huge difference.

The muscle kit doesn't make sense if you've already got some of the pieces. I.E. air cleaner, tuner. Unless you were planning on swapping anyway. If you are planning to keep existing mods the muscle kit probably isn't the best choice.
You said what I was going to say. While the kit and install might be a smidge over-priced, not really after all the necessary parts are included. Easy to say 107 kits are $1000, etc. when they are not really.

Thanks for all the tips guys. I looked into the screaming eagle 110 bolt on kit. About $3500 installed by HD. Anyone have experience with this kit?
Thanks
