Default SE Heads

I am finally putting together my 95" build for my Deluxe and need some help on a few items. My bike currently has the following:
45 Mikuni
Zippers AC
Andrews 37G cams (advanced 4*)
Crane Adj pushrods
Baisley spring
3.37 gearing
SE ignition
V&H True Duals exhaust
I purchased the HD 95" cylinders (p/n 16546-99) and SE Pro Hi-Comp cast pistons (p/n 22661-99a). My question is what type of SE head will perform best with these pistons and cams and what type of CR will the different combos give me? I am thinking of either the HTCC or the Performance heads. A lot of pros on this forum and I value your opinions.

The SE Performance or HTCC won't work with that piston. Those pistons will only work with stock heads. You could have your stock heads ported by Big Boyz. Alot of people here swear by his porting and it probably the cheapest around. Just give Bean a call and he'll set you up. I debated also and almost went the same route you did. I was going to use the SE-211 cam with stock heads though. I stepped it up a notch and decided to buy the SE Performance Heads along with a SE-257 cam. I'll be running the hi comp forged.

Fripple is right. The only heads those will work on is stockers. Just installed a set of heads that Bean did for a partner on his Heratage with 95 flat tops and TW26A's. 9.6:1 Bike will jump out of the hole. Really haven't had time to play around with it yet but looks like a runner for what it is. Eather ditch the pistons or rework your heads. Unless you are looking to start building a foundation for serious HP/Torque (100 +) I would keep what you have and have heads reworked. With what you have and good port you would be knocking on 100 HP if not at and close on torque. Not sure what the CR the 37's like but with ported heads CR can be set with decking or head gasket to a certain point.
