     I am after a good boost in power across the board, i dont know too much about engine upgrades and this parts list is what i have come up with from a couple of days research.   A friend i was talking to mentioned S&S are top rate parts.

    Have looked at Andrews and woods cams (andrews could be an option) and other big bore kits but keep coming back to S&S.  

    Advice/recommendations on other parts (especially if they will be a cost saving) is more than welcome and if i can buy in OZ at a good price even better!!  

    The price is in US dollars and will come down a little with the exchange at the moment.  Supplier is M&M Cycles (awesome supplier)

    Have contacted Scott from Hillside Cycles earlier today just awaiting a reply for their 107 kit with Wood 8 cam, and very good heads,  not sure what  they mean by very good heads...

     

    What did you have them do to your heads??
