Default 95" build

&nbsp\\;
Ok guy's I'm building up my engine to a 95". Should I replace the heads also or leave stock? Also are the screaming eagle heads the way to go? I have found a few pairs that are priced pretty good. I'm not trying to produce a ground pounder just a little more oomph.
Any input from those that have done it will be great.
Thanks

When I did mine I polished and ported them myself. Had the machine shop freshen up the valve job. Minimal cost. I don't have any dyno numbers but I don't have to downshift to pass anymore.

Do the heads and don't forget to change the cam.&nbsp\\; You will not regret it.

I think Rick 547s set up would give you the most bang for the buck if you pick up the se heads off of Ebay.

Two ways to go, one is a proven kit build such as one from HeadQuarters with matching components.&nbsp\\; You cant go wrong and you will easily exceed 100/100.&nbsp\\;It would include&nbsp\\;headwork, boring of your cyls, an HQ cam and pistons.&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;Second, and I have done this build and made 102/112 from a 95 by using HD HTCC Pistons and HTCC heads (not CNC ported) with Woods TW5g cams&nbsp\\; It is not a race engine but will stretch your arms when rolling on the throttle.
&nbsp\\;
Do some research on this site for others than have done builds, and you will see by far most go aftermarket for better performance gains without sacrificing reliability.

&nbsp\\;Go to a&nbsp\\;harley dealership pick up a pro racing parts catalog "there free" of corse and then you have opened up a whole new way to loose sleep and drive your wife nuts with ideas and information that she don't give a good rat&nbsp\\;@ss&nbsp\\; about. You will find your self sitting in the bathroom reading for way too&nbsp\\;long. I know what you are going through I've been there.
&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&n bsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbs p\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\ \;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; &nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&n bsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbs p\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\ \;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;

&nbsp\\;
maybe this will help to show difference between SE heads and stock heads
&nbsp\\;
mine has:&nbsp\\; 95ci,203 cams,SE pro slip ons(98b),sert,stock heads = 78hp/94tq
&nbsp\\;
mine is a mild build,wasnt looking for a rocket,just to solve a few problems i had and pick up abit more power ,im pleased with my set up,might do heads at some point,but the coin isnt available at the momment,if i do head work,i'll probally send them to Big Boyz Head Porting - Powered by vBulletin,some here have done so,and have been pleased with the work.
