Custom ported heads, pistons matched to headwork, new 103 cylinders bored and honed to match pistons, gear drive cams 

103 cubic inches of rompin stompin reliable power

Sorry Hubbard, but I gotta say it  " so endeth the lesson "

here's what I'd do:
street ported heads with 1.9 intake valves
bore the stock cylinders to 3.875"
cast flattop 103 pistons
.030" head gaskets
10.5 compression
long cam like se257, wood tw8, andrews 55
power commander or race tuner, which ever is preferred by the man who will tune it
open air cleaner
2 into 1 exhaust like fatcat, supertrapp, pro pipe hs, roadrage, all work well, some louder than others
Horsepower Inc throttle body if you want peak horsepower above 5500rpm

lots of good builders on the east coast...Hillside Cycle in Upstate NY... R&R Cycle in Manchester, NH...Black Hills Custom Parts in Rockaway, NJ...Big Boyz Cycle in Maine

You just described the motor in LD sans the 2 into 1  and while that's a strong motor, had I known H-D would nix my warranty even though I used their parts and used one of their dealers, I would have gone with Mackie. Been there, done that and nobody does better than Mackie - -  nobody.

What am I your secretary ?

Bubba_T's top end is sitting in Mackie's shop right now and Twolane just got his back from him

I agree with spiderman, mackie is top shelf, his mega-sphere head and piston setup works well...and is kinda expensive

[Unbalanced]

If you are on the east coast and want to stay on the east coast run the bike down to Clear Water Florida and have Wes Brown (Cycle Rama) do it or John Sachs in Ft. Lauderdale, Want to stay in the Carolina's have T-Man do it, want to be in the Northeast have R&R do your work or Hillside in NY.    I would recommend the guy that does the headwork and cam also do the build one guy to stand behind it all vs. he said she said etc etc. 

Wes has done my 2 of our 3 bikes, one middle of the road the 110" runs great and the other one pretty wild the roadking.   I believe otophile, Howie, Scott and others.   He also just won the Nationals for the Teresi dyno drags with a softail B motor that put out over 180 hp. and 170+ torque.

If you leave the East Coast some suggestions would be Mackie California, Mike Stegman Oregon, or Dan Basiley in Portland Oregon.

I think any one of these 6 will deliver what they tell you they will do and will stand behind what they do.

You been on that left coast way to long. Come back home and discover the rest of the horsepower producing east coast engine builders. Mackie is good but there are a few here in God's part of the country that also know how to make horsepower and torque!

What class Brian?

You talking Top Fuel, Pro Fuel, Pro Gas or what?

Are these same seven running a 95", 103", 96" or 110" motors that have a need for bottom end torque?

Or are these drag racers that hold them wide open till they cross the finish line?

That's like saying that the Nascar cars are running XX heads so that means that the street legal Monte Carlo's and Fusions will benefit the common man if they use those heads made by XX.

You gotta do better Brian, I agree Mackie is good but disagree that no one is better!
