With the extra power, there is more stress on the stock cast compensator ramp. These have been known to fragment in both stock and higher power motors, which would definitely ruin your day.
Going to a billet ramp is worth it for the peace of mind.

Peace of mind has been purchased
S&S Compensator Ramp added to the list, along with S&S 55mm CNC Ported Intake Manifold, and Fuel Moto 5.5 Fuel Injectors
Along with all the other stuff, my wallet hurts

The job is shaping up into a full weekend of work at this point.

The more aggressive the lope at idle the harder it is on the comp as well. The lope (or chop as the kids call it) basically loads and unloads the comp and will wear out the parts much quicker. When I installed the CR480 in my 114" the comp immediately started to make noise. It would have been replaced this winter had I not totaled the bike.

This part (S&S compensator ramp) at least I can install as soon as it (and primary gasket) arrives. I have all necessary tools. Unless I'm tripping this part wouldn't require any adjustment to the tuning
Everything else has to wait 3 or 4 weeks will the PV4 arrives.
Waiting Real Feel temp: 3-4 weeks = 47 years

Not sure why you would say they wont fit. Almost everywhere I look it says both these parts will fit. J&P Cycles, Revzilla, Parts Giant, Fuel Moto, and several others.
Haven't found one site that says they wont fit.
