well what ever numbers you get as long as the bike runs good and cool is what ya get.
i know of some 107 runing 120 /120 and i know some 107 running 109/110 so it depends it also depends what type of dyno they are on also. and what part of the country and also how much the dyno operator screws with it to make it look good.
Are you having HQ do their headwork to match the cam? If not, who's doing it?
Headquarters builds one head to fit all now. You could buy their heads for a stock 96, later put a 107 kit together with cams and the same heads will work. They just recently started doing this.
They explain how on their forum.
I jumped in here to say only one thing about dyno's.
I had a guy tell me his stock 96 made the same power as my 96 with 500 cams. He couldn't understand that mine was done with a 20% load on a different dyno so our numbers don't mean anything in relation to each other.
your right about who is runin the dyno . weather and a hole lot of factors run in geting an acurate numbers. my buddy thats doin this build has done my evo and my 95 build so i trust him with this one.
just interested in what others have dyno at. were reworkin the heads again sence the 95 build putin biger valves in this time and im not sure about the compression ratio. still want it relable that can run 6 or 7 hundred miles in a day. when finished with the build will post some numbers to compare.
i dont like that theory one size fits all. you could not put my heads on a 95in motor and expect them to perform well. each application does need a starting point.
but what do i know....

I get emails from their forum all the time. Don't read them much anymore.
One of their threads was about their heads. Doug explained how he could design the heads to fit all but they may then be with his pistons. Maybe he builds the pistons for the heads and gets just as good performance but I don't pretend to understand. If interested I would strongly suggest asking HQ directly. I do trust they know what they are doing.
It's difficult to predict, as it sounds like you have a number of different things going on.
Are the heads "HQ heads"?
I ask because I know that Doug & Kevin do not push Axtell jugs. If they are Axtell jugs, when what pistons are used with them?
The above comments regarding "one size fits all" is a bit of a generalization.
I should have started by saying "**** on a bunch of numbers". Numbers don't mean jack when it comes to rideability & fun factor.
I would suggest stepping back and getting a collection of components that are known to work well together and do so on a repeatable basis ~ like the HQ107 package, for example.
