Title: Looking for more but only where I want it
Post by: Jaycee1964 on October 04, 2019, 10:52:31 AM
I have a relatively stock 107" 2018 RGU.  Decat head pipe, SnS Air and CVO slip ons.  Was tuned with TTS and runs nice.  Pretty quiet and I like that.  I like where the power is now.  I Don't go over about 4K typically and it rolls nice.  I am looking for more power in the current range.  Not looking into doing a cam swap and alter the curve.  I'm thinking about an S&S 124" big bore kit and leaving all else alone and just tuning it.  I should see a marked improvement throughout the power curve by just upping the CI..  No?

Why not take the most economical route

Gotta agree with Tommy.  Very nice gains for what was invested, almost 20 hp/14 tq...not too shabby.

Increasing the displacement to 124" without altering the chamber volume moves the compression to over 11.3:1- too high for the stock cams.

How about installing a CR 480 cam?  Daren did a 107 and it went 120/108 with peak torque at about 3500.

"...Not looking into doing a cam swap..."

You may want to reconsider.
Twin Cam's respond well to a cam swap and competent tune.
The Milwaukee 8 platform responds even better to cam change and competent tune.
Continuous testing and build results at Sheffer Performance in Evansville Indiana has shown this to be the case, all the while maintaining a very usable power curve

If wanting the bulk of the power under 4K, a RS .468 would do it.
More yet?
Bore to 117".....your torque want will be gone then.... :teeth:

I have a 19 FLHX 107. ran it stock for a while with decat head pipe and A/C,F/M mufflers.power vision tune. I just installed a S&S 475 cam with a set of WFO lifters and wow what a wake up and its no more noisy than the stock cam! Best bang for the buck is a cam swap in these M8s with a tune. best of luck Travis  :beer:
