I had a 98" from Hillside done, heads,cams(s &s 570's) super e carb,manifold cleaned up, stills gets a little sparky knock when you get into it. Numbers are 110 hp and 115 ft lbs of torque. Put a thunder jet in her as not to run out of gas at 6000 rpm. Pretty happy so far as I don't ride hard only when my kid rides with me and his group of hellions. Does have a Rinehart 2 into 1 , still feel it pulling at the big end. The bike is a 02 e-glide, so may this will help.

Your experience to date is the best reason why it is worth using a good shop, such as Hillside or Fuel Moto, as suggested by notgrownup above. Both are sponsors of HDF and have a presence in here. Or get an S&S, as I have!
