For my particular application, it suits me just fine.

OK. I get it. HQ is better than SE.
I bought SE Stage II for warranty purposes. I have SE 255 cams. For my particular application, it suits me just fine. I got a nice seat of the pants gain from the upgrade. I recently added a fatcat and a SERT. I still need a dyno tune on this setup, but I can say that it's performing way better than I thought it would. Can I out run a HQ setup on a drag strip? Probably not. But I do have gobs of lowend torque that will haul my fatass down the highway and pass 18 wheelers all day long.

Then again I wasn't offered a price of $1800. My HQ build is around $2200 as I am doing the wrenching myself

$1800 for a Stage II BigBore kit is not all that great a price, but it does include labor & warranty @ that dealership.
Allen.M.... are you out there? How much was that Stage II BB kit you bought? It was something like $450, right? It was a Christmas special too.

It was right at $400 out the door. It was a Christmas special.

Ya know.... it just occurred to me, that the 2200 reference above includes HEADS and the 1800 does not.

RE: HELP!!!103 build HQ or SE
The real differance in the SEII and HQ is the heads. With the SE set up you're just changing one set of crappy heads for another set of crappy heads. That's why the HQ system will run circles around a SE set up. There's no beating HQ at porting heads.

Ric,
"If" you were interested... I bet there's a way we could "arrange" the labor part of yourbuild be handled @ another DFW build party.... just a thought.

You Guys are all making my mouth water and my throttle wrist jealous as hell. 4 and 1/2 more years of child support and I am gonna do a HQ build on my 2000 Ultra. Not sure what kit I'll choose yet but I really like hearing all the 103 build results, I dont need a stump puller but I love hearing the solid power that is obtained and the realiability that they offer. My bottom line is a solid motor that I can enjoy for a really long time. I'm really glad I joined this forum so I can read about all the cool builds and customizing.
