The latest with the 117
#11
Yea I'll definitely be happy. I have the 117 kit, oem heavy breather, d&d fat cat, and power vision. I should have the numbers in about an hour or two. That's chesterfield Michigan. I don't see where it shows my, or anyone else's location. Yes the app is QMT. I forget what I typed to find it, I think it was just 1/4 mile and it was the first one that popped up. I'll see if I can find it again

Hell ****in yea!!!! I still have to have to have it dyno tuned cause a lot of the cells in the higher rpm range were pretty lean. Some were as high as 15.1, so that's gotta be taken care of. But yea I'm ****in jumpin out of my skin with excitement. Not gonna lie, I popped like half a boner when I saw my torque number.

No i used power vision auto tune, I'm gonna send them the tune and have them add a little fuel where I need it. Yea I was thinkin about the numbers all day long. I'm not sure on mileage, if I can go a full tank without smashin the throttle I'll find out, but when I was breakin it in, I got 123.4 miles on a tank, and the range (even though it's inaccurate) said I had 27 miles to empty.
Update:my best 0-60 time so far is 2.79 seconds. I still think I can do better....

You gotta be stoked!
On your lighter bike, it's gotta be a blast.
I was the 1st customer last year at one of my local dealers to install the kit. So everything was unknown about the kits, early 117" motor kits had problems regarding the cyclinders be out of round. Not that they have been around for a year now, builders are gaining knowledge of what works and what doesn't work well.
All in all, There are a lot of choices for a 117" big bore builds now a days in the aftermarket world. Most will out perform the MoCo version of this kit. But to be Able to included a 117" big bore kit and have it under warranty is pretty sweet!!!
It's fun when you find the sweet spot and rip it! Hard to lay off the right hand and hide your big azz grin!
By chance do you have the SAE numbers you can post. (I do agree with you regarding AFR.)
Enjoy your ride brother!

Hell yea. To be honest, I'm well aware of the fact that other kits are producing higher numbers, but I chose this kit because it included everything I wanted to do anyway, it was a direct bolt on without boring the cases, and the obvious warranty, so that's why I went with that. In reality, I realize my numbers are a little low for the displacement, but it's plenty for me. If warranty wasn't an issue and I had another bike to ride while its down I probably would have gone with one of the other manufacturers. When I get my street glide (not sure yet cause I keep goin between a 124 and a 107, I know I know, worlds apart) I'm leaning towards a 107.
Yellow bird, what do you mean sae numbers? Never heard that reference except oil/lubricants lol.
