Default Screaming Eagle heads info needed

i am running a Andrews 57H in my 14 SG with ProPipe and SE/AC.
I know there are lesser priced heads available, other than the two listed below. The two I am looking at is the Screaming Eagle Pro CNC ported with valve upgrade and the other is the SE Maxium Velocity.
Is there anybody with experience with these items and which would be best for my application.

I have an 05 CVO103 and recently installed the same cams.I bought a S&S 106 kit and had had heads done up by R&R .The one problem with these heads is that the combustion chamber is oversize and with these cams I wanted to get the 10.1 comp .because of that the heads had to milled quite a bit along with an 030 head gasket. But I am pleased with results 100 hp and 124 ft lbs of torque. Because heads were CCd and deck hgt checked ,no pinging whatsoever with this compression.

Heads / big bore Doesn't really seam to be worth it for 100hp and 124tq.
I just spent 500$ for my friends 2014 dyna andrews cams head gasket pushrods and used power commander.
100hp 114tq.

The gains you are seeking can easily be lost if the combustion chamber, deck height and quench area are not properly measured and setup correctly to match your cam timing events...

I suggest you get in touch with a known head porter that has the reputation tools and expertise to get you your desired outcome.

100hp 114tq Your right, but it was suggested at time of Dyno I change my injectors to a larger set and my exhaust was holding back the numbers..

Forget SE heads and have your heads set up for your application by a proper head guy.

This was one winter I was not planing on motorcycle tinkering, unlike last year. After numerous calls this afternoon I located a Harley machinist gear head and had a long chat. I will be pulling the heads myself and he set them up according to the cam specs, 1/2 the cost of the HDSE. The best part he will come by my garage and help with install for nominal fee if I have issues. Thanks for the advice gents, saved me a lot of $$$..
