I am with Dalton. If the Stage IV 103 kit is PN92500010; it's not a bad kit for a MoCo package. Additionally, the heads in that kit are available on an exchange basis that will bring the price down to a reasonable level.

Do yourself a favor and think real hard about the cam your proposing to use. Nothing will render a touring bike more useless than over camming it. Consider what Scott (hillside),Dalton and djl have suggested, these guys are very good at building motors with power where you can use it.

Option 1 screaming eagle stage 4 103 but switching the cams with s and s gear drive 625 or 640's I'm gonna keep the compression at 10.5
Option 2 screaming eagle 113 again changing the cams to s and s gear drive.
What's yalls thoughts on both motors? I have a 2009 streetglide that the motor will be going into and I tour alot on it mostly solo with little luggage.
I am trading my 91 mustang 5.0 for the parts and labor to my best friend as he is the service manager at the local hd dealership. He has the 113 kit with s and s gear drive 640 in his bike and made 124 hp
i would probably keep the stang
had a 1991
it was nice
