Default Who to go to for Evo performance and good with answering emails

I wanted more power from my evo, but I don't wanna go all crazy or going aftermarket heads because I am dead set on keeping the appearance of my 1998 Fatboy bone stock as it left the factory 20 years ago, I was born in 1981 so Evo Harley is my very definition of classic, not shovel, duo glide , let alone knuckle. When I was in high school and poor it was a general consensus between my friends that the perfect Harley is Fatboy just as we saw it on Terminator movie, it hold a sentimental value to me, so naturally I want to keep it museum quality as my prized possession that I will never ever sell. I can tolerate aftermarket slip ons and breather kit retaining stock bowl and that's about it. So basically I am limited to piston, rework cv carb, cam, compression and reworking stock heads aiming to get 90+/90+.... Who should I go to for my aim? I need good Evo engine builder who is fantastic with replying email. I am fully aware that email reply is a stupid reason to choose a builder but I live on the other side of the world and I just can't stand having to stay up really late to wait for the right time to call the builder only to be dissapointed by unanswered call or too busy or out for lunch or still machining something or whatever it is so that they cannot take the call after I stay up really late just to call them, been there and done that and wasn't happy at all.

Thanks folks!!

SImple!
Axtell 85 inch drop ins They are cast iron and will not ever leak
They will recut your combustion chambers too.
Next proper *cam , proper exhaust-
You should be at an EZ 90 HP

Options dual plug it whilst the heads are off.
Daytiona TT to help with curve.
Truly you should have an AFR meter of sorts.
Install hipo springs and 194 intakes
Perhaps a proper vale job whilst there.
Thunderheaders.
There is no end to the slippery slope
* Dave Mackie 530 cam works real well, as i am sure others will also

Ya just can't bolt on horsepower, it can be added.

Thanks for the suggestion but I don't want to add aftermarket cylinder that deviate from the exact look of the original cylinder. I am keeping my bike concourse quality for the reasons explained above. Keep em coming!! 👍

You are handicapping yourself.
What's the diff with aftermarket exhaust and or aftermarket cylinders?
They will doc your points either way at a real show.
You can buy aluminum big bore cylinders if that is your preference.

I understand that, but aftermarket slip ons can be swapped in 15 minutes. It's just a sentimental value to me, I know it sounds stupid but I grew too attached to this bike.

Hi Scott, that's sweet. Can you PM me your direct email? On last build on my TC I ended up with other builder that is also very famous and ended up dissapointed with the service due to communication issue.
