By the time I pull of the on ramp to a freeway I like to be at 85-90. I just like to whip around from time to time. Do long runs from time to time. 1up always (I think wife doesn't share the passion for speed like me)

Going to definatly bore the 95" heads I have. 10-5.1 pistions. Don't know what cams to put in (Help). I For sure want everything to complament eachother. Made a big mistake with my S&S 510g just can't make em perform enough. Great cam...just not for me. looking to spend approx 2500.00. Would like to be in the 110hp 120tq area at least. Thanks everyone....

Current set up:
06 Roadie
95" BB from hd
SE pistons(not sure if the flats or not)
Stage 1 heavy breather
S&S gear drive
S&S 510 cams
"Fueling" Oil pump,cam plate and lifters
Thunderheader 2 into 1
PC111


88 hp 98tq
Wow,$2,500??? & you want all that 110hp & 120tq?? Humm I say go with a hot 103 kit.You will need good head work with mid range cam matched with comp.good exhaust & tune.A good running 103(with good head work) would put you around 115 squared!!
