95" Build - Repost
I posted this in General and was told I'd get more responses here. I'm also adding this line I omitted in the other post - this might be a better option for me:
"The cost for a 90/90 package is less.We would not have to go with as high flowing heads, We would massage your heads with new valves and springs and a575 lift cam, so you could save about $600.00"
I'm just reposting because I'd like to get all the opinions I can before investing what is a good chunk of change to me. Please, keep in mind, I'm not a gearhead by any means. So, please keep it simple for my simple mind....thx
I recently paid off my 2003 Fatboy (carbureted). Now I'd like to put my discretionary income toward increasing torque and horsepower.
Following isa quote I got from a reputable performance shop in my area. It's rather pricey but there are not an abundance of good tuners in my area (N Alabama). So, I really don't have anything to compare it to.
If you know of any good performance shops in the area, please let me know. If you know of any in the Nashville area, that would work because I'm only about a 100 miles from there.
I don't have the skill to do the build myself which is, I know, the inevitable reply. I wish I did.
Please let me know what you think.

SE Piston Kit 10.5:1****************************** 279.95

One thing you might want to consider is just pricing the labor at your indy shop for this setup and try to get the parts on your own. You might be able to save some money that way.

RE: 95" Build - Repost
OK, here's what id do, Dont buy The SE heads. save some money and get better performance from having your stock heads worked on. Second, skip the BIG carb, again... work on your stock carb, jetting n needle and such. The 44 carb is to big anyway. Go with some Andrews tw37 cams. Running this cam you can save $$$ on not having to buy new push rods and lifters.Use flat top pistons with your 95in kit. Forget the SE intake manifold as it wont do much either. I build this stuff everyday and it hauls a$$ when im done. It will also live a long happy life.

That's my problem. I don't have the mechanical wherewithal to do the job myself and Head-Quarters is in Michigan. R&R is in New Hampshire.
I don't want to sound like a douche bag, but how would somebody like me, take advantage of these deals?
Thanks and please, no douche bag comments......

A lot of local wreches don't want to install out of shop parts, so that may not be an option.
You are totally getting screwed on the parts prices (those prices are retail or more). And no, I'm not talking about comparing the prices to Ebay, I am talking about splitting the difference between Ebay and full retail (which is what I think is fair).
Shop around, talk to a bunch of builders, don't get in a hurry and research, research, research!
