Motor Build Questions
Hi guys I have a little problem and I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. I went to my local dealer and talked to them about making a little more horse power. Currently I have a 2009 Crossbones with a vance and hines pro pipe, power commander V, and a se heavy breather. I priced a 103 stage 2 kit from Harley but it is going to end up around $4,000 because they want me to reinstall my O2 sensors (which means changing pipes) and they wont tune it with my power commander only the harley tuner. I would like to save the $1,000 for pipes and tuner and go with some thing else if there is a better combo to make the same power. I would love to be about 100hp to the wheel but the more the better lol. I don't have a local Harley Builder that could build my motor with the set up I like. I was just wondering if I should go with the 103 stage 2 kit or have my stock heads worked and put some thing like andrews cams and maybe travel a little to find a builder. I searched and searched but I dont see a lot of set ups with the new power commander and am starting to second guess purchasing it. Any help is appreciated. After that huge spill I guess my questions are
- is there any other after market set up thats cheaper than screaming eagle you guys recommend?
- Does any one know a reputable engine builder near upstate sc that could build then tune with my power commander?
- And what makes more power a 103 kit with out heads or stock displacement with heads and cams?
Thanks Again sorry for the book!!

From: 40 miles Northeast of Indy..
to get 100 hp U'll need to do at least a 103 with some good cams and head work.
might need to have the crank welded and add the SE comp also if going 110 or more.
Good solid builds have to planned from the bottom up, but seems like the PC is used on lots of them.
HD dealers sometimes only work on what they sell as far as tuners.. Ours does the SE tuner, Another one up north works with several brands.. Also one of our Indy's is supposed to be the best around with the PC and dyno..
Look in the touring and softail sections at the Sticky threads at the top of the first page both have Dyno's threads that will help U see what others have done.
Theres thousands of dyno results of all the different builds members have done..

Dr. V-Twin i'm thinking what you are I wrote fuel moto to see if they had a local dealer or recommendations. My next question is going to be personal preference but what do you guys think black jugs and heads or silver? Im thinking black with a black valve cover....agreed?
