Which heads /pistons?
Hello, I recently had some engine damage and need to purchase either screamin eagle heads or S&S super stock heads and correct pistons.
My bike is a 1995 fxdwg with Evo 80ci. with cycle shack slash cut 2-2 exh se air filter set up. I just finished installing a single fire ign, ev27 cam, S&S roller tip rockers, Mikuni HSR42 carb, Thunderheader to come in the future. I skimped on the tappets and the they collapsed or went solid at high rpm, causing the rear intake valve guide to break off and got sucked into the ft cylinder damaging the ft piston, minor damage to ft head near the edge of the combustion chamber. I think the stock heads can be repaired, but the cost of shipping repair and porting will be close to new screamin eagle or S&S heads.
I want this bike to rip, I am thinking SE heads with wiseco pistons possible a bigger cam. I ride hard but also need to be reliable for cross country trips. I also considered Branch flow, but $950 plus shipping is a little steep for me.so far I ordered new S&S push rods and S&S tappets, but now need pistons and heads and possible cam. I would like to hit 80-90 hp and torque. My available funds for heads pistons, boring, and gaskets is around $1400.00 I did find SE heads on ebay for $700.00 My buddies stripped down police model 88ci bagger with dual thunder headers **** all over my bike after the above mods. Which suprised the hell out of me! I want this bike to rip but be reliable.
Any 80ci evo pro's advise would be highly valued and appreciated.
thanks!

Great info, sounds like reworking the stock heads is the way to go..
Stock oem reworked heads perform better than stock SE heads?
Will the bike still be reliable, I will be going across state lines with this bike and racking up alot of miles, it wont be just for riding to the local bar and back home, at the same time I would like this thing to run from most other Harley's I come across. Is fuel economy gone with the big cams and 10.5-1 compression?

Fuel economy is VERY good as the VE is way up on these.
Have to discuss via phone.
