That all depends. You're not giving anybody much information to go on in regards to what bike you would be referring to.

It depends. Do you like sprinkles on your ice cream?

On average, stock HD 117" Big bore bolt on kits have been getting in stock forum 113HP-125HP, 125TQ-131TQ on average from what I have seen on CVOHarley forum.

The best so far on stock 110" heads P/P, & 600 cams by GMR, HPI TB, S&S stage 3 camplate/pump, HD Jugs & Pistons Dyno turned by GMR produced 137HP 138TQ out of a 117" bolt on kit.

Compared to a "stock" 110" motor coming in 85ish HP - 105ish TQ.



HELL YEAH IT'S WORTH IT.



👍👍👍

Also, if I am correct.

The "Tire Shredder kit" name applies to the 110" Bolt on kits, not the 117" Bolt on kits.

Why wouldn't you go the 3 extra inches to the 120? Or are you talking the Fuel Moto or similar kits?

Why not go 4 more and get a S&S 124", 3 more from there and get a FM Outlaw 126", or just go real big and get. S&S 143"?

How big can you go before it won't fit in a stock frame anymore?

I think S&S 143".

I'm no engine builder by no means or even close. I think JIMS has a bigger monster around 150ish that fits. Again I can totally wrong.
