Default Screamin Eagle heads???????

I am wanting to upgrade my stock heads for more performance and was looking at a set of screamin eagle heads. Which ones would be good for an 88ci with the big bore kit and 203 cams? Which cams should I upgrade to? Thanks

With those pipes I'd forget the heads & just go big bore.

I would suggest sendin your stock heads off to a reputable shop & maybe a set of woods cams. If for some reason you have to have SE parts, I would go with the SE performance heads, none of that cnc stuff. There is more to be had gettin your heads built around a good set of aftermarket cams!

I like the sleeper look, when you start it up and they hear the rough idle then its all over but the cryin' I have seen so many posts that say to go with the modified stockers, unless you already have or can get ridiculously cheap the SE heads. More bang for the buck. If I was going to spend the money on SE heads I would get some bigger axtell cylinders(they say AXTELL) on the bottom(matching pistons), and get my stock heads massaged. Just my .02

How about some cool HYPERFORMANCE logo on the side. Well may be not, no one will be able to get close enough to you to see it!

Talk about a sleeper, we just did a 124" in a blacked-out 08 Dyna.
No script on the Axtell cylinder bases, and his OE castings with 2" intakes, with a 1.710" intake opening, and set up for a Wood 9B, Factcat, and a 58 HPI.
You'd walk right past it and never know. Until it was too late.
