new heads
I have an 06 ultra that has been bored to 95 in hq 34 gear drive cams high flow ac v&h head pipes 3-1/2 rhine hart exhaust . Stock heads that have been ported and cleaned up. i am getting 91 hp and 92 tq. My question is Would buying new screaming eagle heads or some other brand make any noticeable hp & tq gain for the money or am I better off just staying the way I am set up now.
Thanks for any input

It depends on who you had work on the heads & how much was spent, time & or money, on the porting. Those numbers aren't too bad for a 95 with relatively mild cams, what were you expecting? We also need to know a lot more specifics on the build before giving you an informed answer.

I am happy with what I have it was more of curiosity . i would have to find my paper work for compression info. I had a local indy do the build for me. i was on a pretty tight budget. I appreciate what you can give me on such limited info at this time.. Thanks for the response

Unless your budget has expanded greatly I'd leave it alone, after a good stage 2, which is what you have, the hp#s get pretty expensive. As to your question about heads, a good head porter can do as good or better than any of the HD heads, it will probably cost $1-2K to gain another 5-10 hp, maybe more. A very good tune from an expert tuner would be the most cost effective, or at least talk to one & get his recommendations, quite often the exhaust can be a big hold up on #s, it seems like your tq figure is especially low, & the exhaust could be contributing to that. If it runs good just ride it!
