Default While my bike is down....
I have decided to take my engine to a 95". I was really set on doing a Revolution Performance 98" kit, but finances have dictated the build. 95" kit, heads ported and polished by Big Boyz and milled a tad to take it to a true 9.4-1 or 9.5-1. I already have Se 203 cams so they will stay for now.

It should be a few weeks more until this is all completed. I miss my ride, but figured I might as well hook it all up while it is down. 52K miles is enough and warrants a rebuild.

Are you boring your stock jugs? What pistons and other components?

Why not bump up the compression a little more for a more aggresive cam in the future?
