Default Engine Build

So I want to build my motor up over the winter this year but having a hard time with which direction to go. I would like in the teens for HP and TQ or more. Got a quote for a 100ci motor but i can't find any history of one anywhere so have nothing to compare this too. Current setup is a stage 2 Screaming Eagle 95 kit. Thought also about maybe some good head work and a nice cam. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

A good 98" kit and head work from Scott at Hillside Performance will get you where you want to go. He usually peeks in here early in the morning. He's a straight shooter that won't sell you anything you don't want or need.

I redid my SE heads, flowed, ported and polished. 2" intake, 1.63" exhaust and reaper 574 cam....it screams.

Thanks for the heads up Tampa fat boy.

Tbonetony06. What kind of power you get from this build? Which SE heads?

124" S&S Hot Set Up Kit would be the cheapest solution.

Looks like you already did some engine work and are looking for more out of it.

Eventually you are going to be unhappy with your (insert next upgrade) and want more out of it...

The other thing that needs to be addressed is your stock crank.

The SE kit from 04 I feel is a pretty basic kit and doesn't offer much for power. I will be content with this engine build if the final result is in the teens for hp and tq.
