RE: evo motor
its all about money. if i needed a rebuild and had the money id go with a 124 or bigger. as for power with the stock engine, with me and the old lady, both hitting the scales over 200 lbs. each, i have no problem going up hill without lugging. i have a cam, milled heads and a S&S super E.

1. Put in an Andrews EV27 cam and new Torrington bearings. It's time to replace the stock bearings anyway so why not a cam while you have the stock one out. Replace lifters if they show any wear.

So far my "performance mods" are:
-42mm Mikuni carb
-Increased air flow intake filter
-Screamin' eagle ignition module(good?), SE coil(good enough?), SE wires and SE spark plugs
-2 into 1 thunder-headers
That's it.. what else would you suggest in order to kick up the bikes pull??? And how much should I expect to put down for it ($)?
Thanks guys.

If that is done and your Mikuni is jetted and set properly, it sounds to me like you're set.
Yep, an Andrews EV27 would be wonderful with that. I can't tell you a price but it seems, if I recall correctly, that it cost me about $650 to have mine done. That included the adjustable pushrods and labor. It also included new cam bearings (Torrington) but I didn't need new lifters. (Only had 5,000 miles on bike.) It also included rejetting the carb (again.)
That EV27 is hard to beat for all around riding. Still has great low end torque, just a mild lope at idle and pulls hard in the rpm range most of usactually ride in. I noticed a big seat-of-the-pants difference that I could feel.

Hey, Mimo, You do know that simply replacing the filter isn't enough - you have to replace the whole housing for the air filter to improve the breathing. I'm sure you know that but I couldn't tell from the way you worded it. If the intake is restricted, nothing else much matters - it won't breathe.

I have a 93 evo motor with 45000 mi. I've been kicking around the idea of ether rebuling my motor or buying a new bigger 96' or maybe bigger. What do you think?
