My aurgument here is the heads don't allow these cams to breath, even though you broke 100 hp your tq is still way below what a good flowing head can produce. You have more hp than Jessie however your cam is WAY larger that Jessie's but you tq is the same as Jessie's and this is my point. I have 103'' packages that run 120/122, 107'' packages that run 125/128, 95'' packages that get 105/115, and a 113'' that yeilds 125/135....so for a 110'' only getting up to 112 tq the heads are not flowing enough air through the motor in my opinion.

Excellent summation.

I'm sure he is right on the header comment.

Doc's "packages" will show how much is available with some minor mods to the Harley motors.
Result: you get a cleaner running, cooler running,  more responsive bike.
The amount of $$$ I have invested in my '10 is way more than my "old" 113, but, the older bike runs circles around the newer ones and is much more "fun"!
Just shows you what a good tune, heads, cam, pipes......(in other words, the "whole package") will do for a bike.
This forum is a great place to see what works and what does not.

JMHO

Agreed Hogmike.

Had I known about Doc before I started modifications, I'd have discussed a package with him. We're trying to scrape together a mix and match solution after the fact but if I decide to have head work done I'm sure we can make it all come together for something resembling numbers from a packaged kit from Doc.

Jesse, sent you an email.  Ted

P.S. good luck wih your ride.  Glad that it all worked out well for you.

I'm taking bets on how long till Jesse does head work.............

[StreetDog]

 My guess is by this fall...

Depends, when does it snow there?

Are we gonna do a poll?

[BUBBLEHEAD]

My thanks go out to Jesse, Heatwave, Jonja, JCZ, HD-Dude, Doc. And any others I haven't listed. When I finally get my new bike I will already have a nice little roadmap to follow. There efforts will help me and I'm sure alot of others avoid buying parts that just dont perform as expected.  Thanks Guys..


Put me in the pool on Jesses' headwork for as soon as the bank account recovers from this last round.

I will never, I mean never do head work on this engine. This will be my last, I mean my very last Harley. Even if I do get another Harley, I won't, and I mean won't modify anything. I refuse, and I mean refuse to put loud pipes on my next Harley that I positively will never get.

Trust me.

Trust me. 

Does this mean that the Rineharts are a tad too loud for long trips?

[jesse111]

Yes, they're a tad too loud for me sometimes and that's probably why I'll keep them on. It's a Harley thing.
