Certainly has a lot of everything, squeeze, breathing potential, duration and lift + overlap and TB.
If it was mine I would have followed the FullSac suggested route but use the proven HD 120r bottom with the same peripherals at 10.8.
If this 110 doesn't break through 132+hp and have a respectable torque curve (aggregate) a little less of everything may have been a better touring build. The HD 10.5 pistons, head work, and a larger TB with the SE259e has done 126hp coming from here tuned by DOC. So this is up a few notches in every aspect. The compression number with that cam does not bother me, I run that with my 117" and tour 2 up.
That is what I've been told twice already, once by the builder and then comfirmed again by T-Man, but because I value the opinions of those here who have infinitely more experience than I do in this area, I'm asking the question a third time to see if I get a different answer.
No doubt there are limitless ways this build could have (some will say "should have") gone. I wanted to stay with one vendor as much as possible thinking that that approach had the best chance of delivering proven results. I was not comfortable saying heads from "A," cams from "B" and a bottom end from "C" would give results that were better than the sum of their parts like a kit from a single source seems like it would do. Thus, the T-Man decision.
On the displacement, I also wanted to keep it a 110, good, bad or indifferent. No reason, except stubbornness, I suppose.
I'm not 100% sure what sort of numbers to expect. That's part of the drama. The same shop did a similar build 3 years ago that was 121 squared. But it had a more restrictive air cleaner and exhaust, from what I understand, along with the 662-1 cams which might have hurt peak numbers a smidgen. So, I'm expecting more than that since it'll be on the same dyno, but at the same time, I don't plan on having it tuned to within an inch of its life, just to get numbers I can brag about. 130+ would be great, but I am I thinking 125+ and hope I won't be disappointed.
Many thanks for all the comments. It's all good stuff!
