Default What's cheapest TC88B upgrade to 100TQ/100HP?

What's the cheapest, most durable, and reliable way to upgrade a carburated TC88B to a daily driven 100lb/ft torque and 100hp spec with a flat torque curve from 2000-5200 rpm?

96", 103", 110",117? Stroked? Cam? New Jugs? New Heads?new carb? I'm looking for the econo build, but it must be a reliable build which I can drive daily to work and long trips on the weekends. What manufactures of parts, HD or independent?

Get on craigslist and do a search for V-MAX or ZRX....sorry man just jerkin your chain.

I can tell you what not to do. Don't go to your dealer. Screaming Eagle parts are expensive, and I don't think it's because they are the best. My bike runs great now, but I'm pretty sure I could have had better results for cheaper. Ask around a lot, find a good independent shop in your area.

GMR performance or Headquaters 95" kits. With a proper dyno tune you should get 100/100 reliable with good drive ablility. all in all youll probably spend anywhere from 2-3 grand depending on how fast you want to go.

Thanks guys. I 'll do some more research on the independent items and try to find a good local shop to do the work. I hear there are plenty in the Kansas city area.

Remember that you can select a group of compatible, proven components for your build, save 20 to 50% off list prices using the internet without even trying, and provide the parts to your indy for the build. I did and it saved me a ton of money!

Somebody have a link to the GMR stuff? Headquaters has some good stuff according to thier website and the kits appear to meet my needs. Does anyone have a bike running a HQ setup with 30K+ miles on it?

Just curious, how do you figure 2-3K or is that w/o installation?

That may qualify in your area, but how can you base that as a response. The Imdies in my are don't know squat about Twin Cams. I have built hundred's of bikes with SE parts that make well overa hundredhorse. I am a dealer. Don'tproject personal experience to everyone. Next time quote about higher priced and maybe using other parts, or don't go to this dealer to help out. Some dealers are good.

Hey Gutman...if you aren't used to the anti-dealer threads yet, you will be soon enough. Most of us realize that there are some good ones out there, heck I like mine! But if you react like this to every anti-dealer thread you're going to be as busy as I am on all the anti-cop threads!
