I have been searching all of the great informatiom on the forum. But i still have questions as usual.

I would like to get the most out of my 88 and need help deciding on the 98 or 95 big bore kit and the best cam.

Currently have a PC5 SE heavy breather and V&H 2 into 2 big radius.

What kind of budget am I looking at. I can turn wrenches, just a bit hesitant to jump into it. Don't want to f$&@ anything up.

Thanks

 

I would go 98"
If your boring out your cylinders you may as well get the most displacement.
Cam depends on what you want out of it.

 

I bored mine out to 95 with se flat tops and andrews 26 g cam. I'm no mechanic but rhe job went pretty uneventfully. 20k miles on the build and no issues. Plenty of videos on the net to help you.

 

x2 and theres plenty of big bore threads on here with a lot of info

 

That is a very good and common build. Reliable, no ping, affordable. With your 06 heads and 26's, no headwork required. Also a 2n1 will do much better then your 2n2 big radius and if you are spending $$$, pipes are an important part of the build. Skies the limit on builds and their is no "best" build. Take your time and research...

 

A few recommendations:

1. Don't go to crazy on your build and sacrifice reliability.

2. Buy your parts or at least the majority of them from a reliable shop that will help you plan the build and check the compatibility of different parts.

3. Prepare a detailed written plan prior to starting.

 

Hello there
I have an 05 model fxdxi and its an 88/95 which has been fitted after run in miles. Mix of S&S gear drive cams and Screamin eagle cylinders pistons heads intake exhaust etc. Just to say IMO the 95 has every thing that most people could want out a Harley and is not to radical that would up set the life of the motor. Things have moved on and you have a lot more options now. When i changed things over i had a trued crank so the run out would allow me to go gear drive cam set. There is the screamin eagle cam plate and oil pump upgrade which may be a safer way to go if there is more than 3 thou run out on the crank. Hope this small point helps.
