Finally decided its time to put heads on my engine. It's a 107" with CP 3cc dome pistons. The crank has been trued, balanced, pinned and welded, timken conversion and fueling lifters. I'm currently running Woods 777's and pulling good numbers for a stock headed bike at 98 hp and 111tq, peak torque is at 3300. Running a Bassani road rage 2 into 1 with the packing removed, stock throttle body and injectors with a SE Heavy breather.
I want more! So...
I've decided to go with Hillside stage IV heads and will run either a 9b or 408-6 I still haven't decided yet. I'm going to run a screaming eagle 58mm throttle body and high flow injectors unless someone convinces me that the HPI unit is worth the money.
Scott has been extremely great to work with so far, He gives a lot of great advice on this forum so it was worth a phone call and after about ten minutes with him I was sold on their products. I run woods cams in everything I put together and have had GREAT success with them.
I run with a pretty good running group of bikes and we run them pretty hard. Hoping this motor will make some 120rs sweat. We will see. I'm doing a headquarters 107 build in my friends street glide at the moment too so things are going to be interesting come dyno day and I can almost guarantee when he comes up short I'm going to get blamed for de tuning his haha. He won't let me put woods cams in it. It's science project vs science project I guess.
Just thought some people would be interested and would like any suggestions anyone has.
After talking to HPI today I'm going to run their 58 mm throttle body with 1.8 intake runners with their 5.3 injectors, there claiming thirty cfm more so thats convincing enough. like i said someone just needed to talk me into it lol. I still need to decide on cams. I'm leaning towards the 9b's just need to talk to Scott a little bit more on it. Any suggestions?

What air cleaner are you going to run? I ran an HPI combo (55mm tb/ 5.3 injectors/ eliminator air cleaner) on my 113" Softail. I was happy with all of their products.
A 408-6, 9B, and the more peaky 9F will all be in the mid-120's.
Built one for a local client, in a Dyna, from over in the Mohawk Valley, with a 9B, 55/58 HPI Max-Flow, Wood 325 cfm air filter, our Stage IV Heads, D&D Fatcat w/big-bore baffle, set the compression at 11.0, where the 9B wants it.
THAT hand-picked combination was a tick over 130/130.
An S&S .585 will push into the mid 120's, but the Wood cams will bring more torque on the strike, and carry more to their peak as well.
