Just like Hillside, your local shop should be able to recommend the best CR and cam to provide you with a good working combination. We can give you a scatter-gun variety of suggestions, but there is no substitute to talking things through with the man who is going to do the most important part! Hopefully he will already have a range of proven set-ups, one of which will give you the performance improvement you would like.

Hillside stage II heads, w6 cam, Wiseco 10:1and an S&S E will yield 90 lbs torque and 85 hp with great gas mileage and performance. Scott's done a lot of those.

Sorry, to get those numbers you will need a static comp of 10.5:1 if your going to use the w6 cam.

What are your wheels and tires? Sharp!

Thanks, the front wheel is a dna fat 50 spoke and the rear is stock. They are both wraped in shinko 777hd ww. I have been looking at the mikuni 42, price wise i will either go with it or stick with my cv. It's still in the 70's in Ohio so far so I won't be tearing into it till the temp breaks. Also i noticed my block has a small leak at the split should i be concerned with this? Thanks guys.

Looks like tear down might be starting soon.

hey guys, I have a question. My front forks have air to them I never run any in them and I doubt they will hold it anyway. Would it be better to just buy the progressive mono tubes and install those?

If you don't use the air system I would rebuild them with something that isn't designed to use the air.
I guess the answer to your question is yes (although there are several other options out there).

Start a new thread of your own, there's a good chap. This one is about engines and your query will get lost in here. As Texas says, there are solutions available.
