Bump this up....
Red02FXST said:
what kinda numbers can I expect from this combination.
1550 kit and
forged pistons
SE pro 103 heads with the 2.080 intake and 1.623 exhaust
SERT
stock head pipes with slip on from V&H or SE.
SE AC
Think MegaGlide has simular build.
Reasoning is I could buy the SE heads for a couple hundred more
than getting porting done. Just thinking outloud.
whatda ya think???
Just like to revive this thread because the original question is along the same train of thought as me, but different heads.......
I am thinking
SE Pro Performance Heads 16953-99C to keep costs down; does the following make sense?
Getting your heads done by a local or even interstate porter seems a fairly easy excercise if you live in the USA, however about the only way I could get heads ported to suit would be to get them off EBAY, sent to a porter, then shipped overseas. So cost wise, I reckon about $200 - $220 for heads, say $20 USA shipping, then another $300 for porting, already up to around $540 ish without any valve work and all an unknown quantity / quality.
With the SE Pro Heads at $573 complete with valves, it seems to me that would be the way to go, being a known quality, opinions?
May as well throw out what else I thinking about at this point, and get some thoughts on this combination, especially looking for low end torque / all round rideability -
SE Pro Performance Heads
TW-5G cam
Revperf 98" cylinders
SE Roller Rockers
SE Forged Rocker Supports ???
Cometic 0.30 gasket
Baisley spring
SERT for tuning
Have
SE 16 Gauge Double Barrel exhaust w/ Thunder Monster baffles
Stage 1 Air Cleaner & download
An estimate of compression ratio? Is this a workable combination? What else is required / recommended?
Can stock push rods be used? How about perfect fit rods? Anyone with a similar build?
Thanks, a great forum, John :cheers:
