What kind of numbers should I get from the following? Flowed heads (stock) 9.8 - 1 cr, Harley flat top cast pistons, SE 211 cams, Arlen Ness Big Sucker, Bassani RR 2 into 1 exhaust, Thundermax auto tune. Engine builder has a dyno but I can't remember which type. Maybe land and sea. I know how some #'s are pretty inflated. Just wondering what I can expect for REAL #'s. Oh yeah one more thing. I assume that a 103" is the same bore and piston size of the 95" but the longer stroke of the 96" motor makes it a 103" ?? I'm basicly just looking to get much better throttle response and acceleration (0-80 mph) Top end speed I could care less. Would this setup get me to 100hp 100lbs torque area?

 

that is a pretty good package...could use more compression, 10.2 or a little more if you have compression releases...even with 9.8 compression you'll be above 100hp/100tq, but the torque may be a little soft below 3000 rpm...you'e correct about the bore size being the same for 95 and 103, just 3/8 more stroke

 

Thanks for the input skyhook. By saying the torque may be a little soft under 3000 rpm do you mean bumping up the compression would solve that or would I be better off with a different cam say the 204 instead of the 211 and leaving the cr at 9.8-1 or change both?? I want the torque down low. 3000 sounds much too high for the drivability I'm looking for.

 

9.8? Woods TW6, Andrews 37, S&S 510. That is just a few choices. You can add lift if your heads can take it. My build has 91 lb ft 2600 and peeks at 102. Works for me!

 

I agree with fxstdse2...the woods tw6-6 is probably the most popular mild cam for 103" motors and makes good low rpm torque at 9.8 compression...the se211 is more of a midrange cam, and you have a little too much compression for the se204...another one I like is the t-man 525

 

I was going to run the T-man 525 with the 4 deg gear (I only have 9:1 comp.) but I already purchased the se cam-plate chains and new tensioners. The woods is the 3rd cam I had in there (SE 253 that came with the kit and a Andrews TW26 by recommendations that seemed a little lame) and the woods is by far the best overall. As you can see I listed no HP # in my reply because IMO it is irrelevant when you are building torque.
