without spending a ton of $$$$.
I agree. You can build a 95 inch motor that will produce 100/100 type numbers that is very reliable and easy to ride. I really don't see the extra $$ it will cost to go to a 103. I went with T-Man Performance components because they produce what he says. His website has alot of dyno charts with different combonations to give you an idea.

However you go talk to the builder as much as it takes to understand what you want, how much $$, and what is realistic. Let us know how it works out.

I would stick with the 95. If you do decide to open up the bottom end the options from there open up quite a bit. You are not limited to the 103. Talk to a builder, get parts that complement each other and you will be happy.

Part of my decision is done. I'll go with a 95". Decided I don't want to spend the extra for more cubes. I'll do as suggested from here and pick the cams next. thanks guys and more opinions still appreciated
