Default Want outlaw M8 who?

I've been back and forth with how far I want to go and upon waiting to see the Harley and aftermarket resolution on the sumping with higher output engines I will be pulling the engine and sending it out to get it stroked with the screaming eagle crank, trued and balanced etc... I have someone in mind but any suggestions on high performance guys before I make my decision ?

Why would you want to stroke it?? Bore is better and cheaper..

I may go that way but looking at all my options.

Does he do head porting, larger valves etc... ????
Any other performance builders I should consider?

Whoever you choose and whatever you decide, start a new thread with pics and components. Would love to see a good build and know how it's working afterwards. Good luck with your endeavors.

If it were me, I'd check with Darkhorse crankworks or Tman performance. I had work done by both (Tman heads / cams and Darkhorse bottom end) on my 2012 UC, and was very satisfied with both. Crank runout was close to zero when they were done, and the heads and cams gave me very satisfactory performance without increasing bore or stroke. YMMV. At that time, Tman wasn't offering bottom end work, but now they do. No experience with that phase of their operation, though.

By the by, the solution to the sumping problem may be as simple as replacing an inadequate oil pump. I had one from Fueling in the 2012 UC I mentioned in my previous post. Performed flawlessly.

Thank you this is exactly what I was looking for some shops who have experience like this. One of the options you listed was in my list, I want to see my options between builders as you very well explained in you response. Thank you...
