Default 97 Road King Build

Picked up a 97 Road King last year. Doing some mod's this winter and I am wondering what I can expect to realisticly gain in hp and tq. Changes will be: Mukuni 42 carb, Woods w6 cam, Wisco 10:1 comp pistions, port & polish the heads and intake manifold, Crane hi 4 ignition, SE air filter, SE 2:1 pipe. Of course the cam bearing, push rods, lifters, rocker arms and springs will be upgraded as well. Bring on the warm weather!

Minimaly you should get over 1 HP per cubic inch, possibly in the low to mid 90's, the torque number should be a little higher that the HP number if everything is set up and running right.
