Supertrapp 2/1, Thunderheader, or Cycle Shack 2/2's.
80-85 hp, low 90's torque, with EXCELLENT fuel economy.
Must've built 75-100 of these over the years.......
Reliable, smooth combination.
Not enough?
A bit more compression and a Wood 8.
That will hover @ 95 hp, and 95 ft/lbs.
Scott
That sounds great. How is the 10.0 CR achieved? Through milling, gaskets, or piston swap?

What would be the parts list and cost? Assuming I send in my heads for the stage II and new valves/springs, cam, bearing upgrade, lifters, push rods, ignition, and what carb work on my CV...

How much am I giving up over thunderheader with my samson 2-2 exhaust? I just put it on, hate to throw away $600 if it's only a few HP....

zimm, best if you contact Scott direct, to talk things through in detail. I changed from Samson TDs to a Supertrapp Supermeg and gained 15% torque in the mid range. That is a serious improvement! Bike was set up on a dyno for each system, by the same dyno man. What really surprised me is how much smoother and sweeter running my bike is, something I hadn't expected. The only change was the exhaust system, plus fine tuning on the dyno. I am a 2-into-1 convert!

For the carb work I would stay with the CV , get with Ken at CVperformence.com , if you already have the supertrapp stay with it , best 2-1 out there , I'am not up to date with hillside , But have heard a lot of good about them , also there's veetwins down in Fla kirby builds & drag races these engines he's on HTT.com or bike-talk.com theres a guy in canada who swears by his work & with the shipping cost in & out of there he must be good

How much horse power/ tork do you want.
Bolt on will give you small increases (up to around 30 or so depending on what you go with)

There is no replacement for cubic inches.

Look at the dyno specs

Yes a new motor is more expensive but the closer you leave a motor to stock the longer it will last.

scott: for the hell of it, what are you guys running for slow/main jets on a build like that? (W6 / 10:1 / 42 mikuni / supertrapps / dyna2000)

looking at the possibility of getting mine started tomorrow, and gotta get it dialed in *enough* that I can take it down the highway (gotta calibrate the new speedo...dont wanna rack up thousands of miles when it hits the dyno in a few weeks lol)
