Looking for input before I get fully committed on this TC88 upgrade
So, this winter I'm turning my TC88 into a 98ci Beast, and, hopefully going to come out in the Spring blowing the doors off most, both in style and performance.
I already purchased a great set of 2012 103ci heads that only have 2000 miles on them, can you say ACR!
I really want to go gear drive cams, but I hear "run out" may be an issue?
I'm planning to use the Revolution 98in kit... local Harley Tech says the 103 heads bolt right on?
I have a lot of questions being this is my first EFI bike... until now, I've been all about the old Iron and carb. hardtails... getting old I guess!
Any input, ideas, tips or tricks, are all welcome... I'll save the questions for when their really needed.
Thanks Guys!

'06 Night Train, 45k...(bought it 2 years ago w/9k), and no previous work that I can see.
Running Short shots, Fuel Pak, and an aftermarket super sucker cone...
I've stayed up on all the maintenance, especially w/ those miles put on! However, fear of the tensioners is why I'm doing all the work, well, aside from my desire for the power.

I recently had my 88 built up with a 95 kit and did the whole 9 yards with heads, pistons, cams, carb, hydrauiic cam plate, etc. My suggestion would be to ride a bike with the particular setup you're contemplating before you commit. Had I known exactly what I'd be getting out of the build, I'd have spent a bit more to get a bit more. I'm happy, but I could be happier for far less than it would cost me now to go back into it.

I had a 05 TC an was told the bottom end would handle gear drive fine, the 103's are the main ones to watch for crank run out on gear drive. My next build will be a older TC with gear drive cams an a displacement bump, maybe a 98" kit. Just buy cams that fit the type of riding you do. I like cams that come on low an kick thru the mid range because that's where I ride. I enjoy a hard kick off the line an being able to snap the throttle open an get that rush, don't get caught up in peak numbers an build a motor you have to rev the crap out of to get to the power band, to me that's not a fun bike to ride. If you plan on up up riding a lot you def want to consider low end cams.
