Default Wanted: Build Advice

I have a black 2010 FLHTCUSE 110. I want a lot more go. I ride 2 up and spend 90% of my time at 2-3500 rpm. I want torque. Maybe 30-40% more. I like the cam power band design it came with, just want more of it. I considered Jims 131 but have seen too many people unhappy with the service. I think the best thing to do for power and reliability is to do a custom large inch build from scratch, including cases instead of hop up my 110. I want to do a build around Baisley headwork, components and geometry. I am looking for opinions on engine size, components and suppliers, competent mechanics in the northwest (Oregon) and expectations of reliable rideability. I hope to keep this under $10,000. Thank You for your comments and help in advance. Jeff

Since it's Black you shouldn't need any more performance upgrades - it's already the fastest color!!
Forum joke....
Welcome to the forum!
The big thing kickin around here right now is the SE 120 right from Harley. It's the complete engine minus intake and electronics.
Although there's been no real world touring tests yet.
You have quite a few more options though.
