Last question.....so what is downside of higher compression say 10.8?  This is what my builder is favoring. Achieved by head work and pistons. Thanks in advance!

[prodrag1320]

10.8-1 opens up choices to a lot more cams and way bigger power,some guys don't want that much compression,but youde be looking at 120-125+ easy with the right cams & headwork

I put some T Mann 555 cams set of V&H 2n2 pipes had it pro super tuned. No head work and it has great low/mid range power.

At 10.8, your a shoe-in for a Wood 8, for example.
Forum member, Lever, had Jim Kennedy tune a combo of ours like that.

Finally pulled the trigger on this modest build. Let me know if I missed anything. Should have charts end of next week.  Thanks for all the input!!

Bassani pro-street
Fueling 574 cam
Screaming eagle head gasket
10.5 screaming eagle pistons
Zippers dual tensioner and oil bypass
SE pro tuner
Hydrolic tappets (bike has 1300 miles, do they need replaced?)

  That cam does not work well with the stock heads
Provided you got the RIGHT cam a set of beehive springs should be part of this package
should add some lifters to this package....the stock lifters are junk
10.5-1 is too much compression for that cam
you don't need to replace the pistons and if you did for a build like this .010 over stock 110 se/mahle pistons would be a better bet.
Get a TTS tuner....much better tuning device

I'd swap out the Bassani for a SuperTrapp 2:1

................and I'd swap out that Reaper for a T-man .625 or a Wood 400......

[Lever]

I agree with scott  those are much better choice cams then the reaper

Looking for pros and cons for part choices on a mild breakout upgrade. I have the super tuner and Bassani pro-street pipe but need to pick out other parts. My riding style is not terribly aggressive, just looking for a bit more power. Top HP is not my main concern.

Anyhow, I need to decide on:
Cam
Roller rocker
Pistons
Anything else?

My builder strongly suggests zippers dial hydronic tension and 10.5:1. so I'll go with that. He also will be doing the head work. Not really sure what to ask for or expect with the headwork. THANKS in advance for the help!!

I threw the screaming eagle high compression piston kit 10.5 with 259 cam. I'm impressed, great mid range bike. I'm waiting to get the break in period done before I stick it on a dyno. I'll keep you guys posted on the results. Any route you go on the compression bump make sure you run the high octane fuel. There is allot of options out there, do your research pull the trigger.

Good Luck Keep us posted.....

Sticking with 10.5 piston and still struggling with cam choice. S&S sent me the attached. Looks like the 585 performs like the se259. I'd still rather see more torque early. I'm just not a top hp kinda guy

[lennyj]

10.5 and 585 compared to stock

[Mount'nman]

Get them to send you a chart with their 551 cams.  They move the TQ left.

[TorqueInc]

  on the 551....the power will flatline like you threw out an anchor

[lennyj]

Thanks torque!  Any thoughts on the S&S 583 with 10.5?  Looks torquier?
