I’ve been looking at S&S parts for the motor. Baker transmission, scorpion clutch and a performance machine belt drive primary. Good combo? Or should I be looking at anything else?

Haven’t started yet, still doing my research. I’ve got a turbo kit on the way, that I’ll run on the stock 103 but want to build stronger motor to handle more boost. Not necessarily a big inch motor, just hp/torque strong.
