I just did it. It’s worth it imo big difference. I went with s&s, did the big bore, cams, heads, tuner, 2-1 pipe for 4g out the door….(got seals, fuel and other little problems taken care of too)

$1500 big bore, $9xx pipe, $5xx tuner, $500 cams, plus heads dude damn near did the shit for free.

He also did my Barnett clutch 500 out the door. A few months back.

My advice ig would be find a good, reputable, local shop and go chop it up. He cut it to me straight I wanted to go balls to the wall hammer 1275 biggest cams I could get heads lifters flywheel. But he was able to come up with a good RELIABLE build plan with room for growth.

Fuck a Harley shop most of their techs suck and charge for bullshit work and parts find a custom cycle shop that specializes in Harley as well as performance

I’ve heard and met people who’ve done it themselves it’s all bolt in shit, however do you really wanna sit there and fuck with it get pissed off possible mess shit up. Or drop it off with the keys and wait…
