If you don't mind coming up to the DFW area, take your bike to GMR Performance, Steve can do any kind of build you need and an expert dyno tuner to boot.

Had to add: Steve is somewhat opinionated and a bit different sort of person but doing Harley anything, well he is one of the best, period.

Well he has tuned me twice and helped me on on decision making on several things but I like to do things myself so I just had AMS in Ft Worth bore out my cylinders with some basic headwork and I did all the installing.

Looking back I wish I had used Steve more, I think his 577 Genesis cams would have been a better choice for my particular build. Also looking at numerous dyna charts that Steve has posted with those cams have been very impressive (mainly 103" through 110" type builds).
