As far as Kendall Johnson goes I watched his biker build off where his bike ran some thing like a 9.8 quarter mile So you know he can build a bike to make power but price is still in the back of my mind.

As far as the 110 goes its a good idea but I was thinking more like a s&s 124 kit for 5500 and then selling mine. Prob. not the smartest but sounds cool!!

Now you're talkin.... If you want over a 100 hp you're going to have to bore and do head work for sure. A 124 kit is a baller kit, however, your budget needs to be ready. There is probably at least 3000 bucks in labor there too. I've got about 9,000 into my 106" and am easily over 110 hp. However, if it's power you want, money you have to be willing to spend.

Yeah anything is possible I found a relatively local shop that does all work in house they will work my heads over, bore my jugs for 103s, pistons, woods 555 cams, clutch spring, and dyno tuned installed for 2000. The shop is called CNC Thunder in Cowpens Sc. One of the guys on here sent me in there direction.
