You have various options, such as a boost to 103", plus CR increase, change of cams, even porting your heads. Best approach IMHO is to either find and talk to a local indy or contact an HDF sponsor (such as Hillside Cycle), who can offer you a proven package of components and mods that will meet your needs.
