Hi folks, If I fit the following to my S1 Lightning, will it really give me 124 bhp?

NRHS - satge 3 XB Heads
1250 big bore kit (i reckon that must be worth 2/3 bhp considering bore increase only)
Redshift 585 cams
Mikuni 45mm carb
NRHS Exhaust system.
Yes i have seen the dynos but would like further info on this kit before i consider that path. It seems that peak bhp is at 7500 rpm - is this not a bit high & will i need race ignition or get away with retarding timing?. Is the kit reliable? as i do not want it in the repair shop every other day.
My bike seems to perform okay, I have race an X1 & only just feel behind him which i thought was okay considering the X1 has 'Thunderstorm Heads'.
To be honest though the bike has enough guts out of corners for me but could do with a bit more bhp for the long straights.

thank you in advance - ezetobebad

I have a M2 and was thinking about going with the same kit your going with minus the NRHS exhaust. If you go with this kit please post your "by the seat response". I have seen the dynos too but never talked to some one who actually put this kit on their bike.
