Hi guys I have a little problem and I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. I went to my local dealer and talked to them about making a little more horse power. Currently I have a 2009 Crossbones with a vance and hines pro pipe, power commander V, and a se heavy breather. I priced a 103 stage 2 kit from Harley but it is going to end up around $4,000 because they want me to reinstall my O2 sensors (which means changing pipes) and they wont tune it with my power commander only the harley tuner. I would like to save the $1,000 for pipes and tuner and go with some thing else if there is a better combo to make the same power. I would love to be about 100hp to the wheel but the more the better lol. I don't have a local Harley Builder that could build my motor with the set up I like. I was just wondering if I should go with the 103 stage 2 kit or have my stock heads worked and put some thing like andrews cams and maybe travel a little to find a builder. I searched and searched but I dont see a lot of set ups with the new power commander and am starting to second guess purchasing it. Any help is appreciated. After that huge spill I guess my questions are
- is there any other after market set up thats cheaper than screaming eagle you guys recommend?
- Does any one know a reputable engine builder near upstate sc that could build then tune with my power commander?
- And what makes more power a 103 kit with out heads or stock displacement with heads and cams?
Thanks Again sorry for the book!!

Get the service manual and build it yourself; save beauceau $$$. You've got a good exhaust system and have opened up the air intake; SE breather is OK. Have your cylinders bored to fit SE flat top pistons, Andrews 37 or SE204 cams with 4* advance gear, .030" Cometic head gasket and you're done. Find a tuner proficient with the PCV and get her tuned. Don't really need headwork to get the 100 number you are looking for but with the saved labor $$, another 400-500 for a "street" port and decking for compression would be money well spent. If heads are decked for compression, don't need the 4* advance gear.

 

Have Scott do your heads. Have your crank welded and trued. Get yourself a good cam. I am partial to the Wood cams (555). 103 pistons. With jugs bored over and shaved .007 . Cometic .030 head gasket. Stock replacement litters and adjustable push rods. You will be under 3000 and you will have over 100 HP EASY more like 115.

Now you r limited to the power commander at that point. I don't know what power commander offers???

 

It will be reliable too
