I have an 05 Road King and I am planning to do some engine upgrades. I plan to do 95", change cams, mild head porting (maybe Big Boyz) and add a PCIII. I was originally planning to use the Andrews 26G and go to gear drive. But then I saw the Crane HTC 300-2 & 310-2 and some people really seem to like them. I would really like to have it pull from 2000 RPM or below. I guess I was hoping for a set up that would get me at least 85hp and 95 tq as a minimum. Of course more is better, 90hp and 100tq would be great as long as I don't loose the low end torque. Anyone have any suggestions or maybe even some dyno data? I would really like to get this right the first time, its just to expensive to get wrong.
Big Boyz wont sell you the farm if you only need the cow. HTC 300-2 use a .030 head gasket. HTC 310-2 use .030 gasket and mill .020 off head and you will be set.
Not saying you should do this build but lots of good info and things to think about. People get 95+ lb's tq with this build in a use able rpm range and no head work required.
well there are a lot of ways to get to those #. all require some headwork .bigboyx will get you there....but imo if the heads are off get them done correctly do not go cheap on headwork. not bashing bean.... do it right. get the heads done fully trust me on this .
on a bagger i would go with a 37g cam quiet cheap and reliable with a 95 in cylinders flat tops baisley super stock heads 9.5 compression good tune 100/100 is attainable and reliable. all the power you will need. or bump the compression up tw6 cam and comp releases.
do the heads right the first time.
do the whole build correctly you will save money in the long run.
