Plan on engine work, have 3k to play with. What to do to an 88 twin cam with 40k on the odom. I do have a guy who can do any motor work 100 miles away, so im looking for advice on gaining more HP. Dealer quoted me $4016 for 98 kit and all the things to go with that. But like always i know dealer is way high.

 

Where are you starting? Stock? Stage 1?

 

the TC88 heads are restrictive- fix that

cams and cam drive system

that should be 15 or 20 horse added to a stage 1 ( which itself is 7 or 10 horse above the stock 55~58 HP of the TC88)

so you'd be looking at 85 or so HP.

95 or 98..the labor costs nothing if the heads are off...that adds a couple more HP

that'd be nice,

with added power if you have a good torque curve add a 6 speed gearset.

If your stock 3000 wont get you much cam and stage one tuner pipes

 

If ya already have a stage 1 (A/C, ehaust, tuner) $3k ought to get ya 98 pistons and bore, cams, headwork and tune. Talk to a few builders for a combo to fit your style.

 

I talked to Scott at Hillside today about doing their 98" Touring package. Right at $3500 dyno tuned. Ballpark 95hp & 110tq.

BTW, that is installed.

 

Yeah stage one done, 4" true dual rineharts n PM ac with power commander.

 

You must be high !! 3k will get a lot.

Shop wise and do the work yourself.

Cams,pushrods, head work, tuner, A/C, Slip ons, tensioners replaced, baisley spring, fuel line and filter, Lyndall pads, Glide Pro system and maybe a little more.

Be one hauling *** 88" motor.

 

baisley spring, fuel line and filter, Lyndall pads, Glide Pro system and maybe a little more. What is all that lol

 

Baisley spring can increase oil pressure,
Fuel line and filter are in tank and with 40k along with age you could perform the dervice to them to ensure your new powerplant is well fed.
Lyndall is brake pads that are better than factory to help you stop better.
Glide Pro system replaces motor mounts and components to keep your bike going on the line you intend for it to be on.

It is the good stuff !!!
