Building a torquer, got my parts!
I bought Se255 cams, used jugs to bore, forged pistons for 103", (in case I go nuts later, and change cams) gaskets, adjustable pushrods, should be all set to build a torquer! Will be accompanied by Jackpot mufflers, AC and PCIII. I am expecting 100+ to 105 torque , 85+ hp. Sound good? All for my 2008 RK

Good news!
Yep, lookin for a two day rain, should do it! I am retired so I have all day.
Glad to hear you wore the tire off that quick; because it means you are putting a ton of power through that rear tire! Our builds are almost identical, did you set the compression up any? What was the deck hieght of the piston? I am staying with the Jackpot slipons, may boost compression to 9.9, dyno tune to get the spark right for that much squeeze I believe is my tuners idea.

No P to V clearance issues with any flat tops & 255's ~ at least as long as you index the cams correctly.

Just had the SE 103'' kit installed at the dealer as well as a SERT. Chose to keep the stock headers but did go to V&H Basic Slipons. Have 400 mi and will have 500 by early tomorrow. I'll do an oil change and start slowly increasing rpm's above 3000. It pulls like a freight train and engine spools up in a hurry with much less throttle input. I'm not interested in speed as much as torque. This setup does exactly that. I'm still at 42 mpg during break in.

Saw*me do you think that the heads add enough to make it worth the cost... Anybody, I just did the 103" Stage II and while I love the power, I caught the bug. Is sending my heads off to Big Boyz or Hillside to have my heads done worth the cost... I wouldn't be doing it until winter but still always thinking about it in the back of my mind. Any thoughts?
