Is it necessary to have heads ported and polished. Builder said for the money it's worth doing it.  Sending out to WFO Larry for head work.    I'm going with the 117" kit for my CVO RG ultra.  Using the S&S pushrods and lifters along with the tman 585 cams.  Going to check crank run out while it's apart. Hoping the crank is still good as I don't wanna spend anymore $$$$ on a new crank.

Not necessary but will give more horse power and torque with porting and polishing. We just finished this one up in a 15 SE limited. HD bolt on 117 barrels ans pistons. Stock heads, .040 Head gasket, fullsac DX headpipe, Fullsac 1.75" Cores, Tman 625 cam, S&S camplate, pump, lifters and pushrods, SE 58mm Throttle body with 5.3 injectors. ~125hp & ~130tq

Sweet hope I get same results or maybe even better.

stock heads are barely enough for a 103",when going bigger inches,its a must.

Good work Jim with the tune 

On tap quiet power for a bagger

Exhaust & Tune makes or breaks a build

I've got WFO Larry's heads on a 113" build that runs fantastic. I have a pretty mild/torque oriented cam but it still made a decent chunk of HP. I credit the heads for that. I'm starting a 117" build Saturday, going to use the same heads but the builder/tuner is sending them back to Larry for a little refreshing.

Nice #s  Sweet Curves 

Are the 625s the "new" PS Cams??

What is the CCP ??

Yes the PS cams, from memory CCP was set at about 195#

remember that the stock spring are too heavy and should be replaced.  Also the the stock valve guides are also a weak point.  At a minimum you should address these.  Reality is while you're doing that, you might as well port and polished to get the right amount of flow, while addressing the guides and springs

[HD Street Performance]

Would tend to agree except the springs.
I just don't prefer the design. Flat damper spring on many. The beehives I am moving away from. They have a lower spring rate but more pressure on the seat. Plus I have had a few sets of beehives break. I prefer conical or double springs of the proper height and pressure.

The valve springs were changed on this build.
