I just put in a 113" Ultima and have 700 miles on it. Tons of power. S&S are the top of the line but they are expensive and that is why I got the Ultima plus I saved around $3,000. Revtech does not have a very good track record around a lot of the online forums.

In reference to RevTech...

... My buddy rides a BMC with a 100 something inch RT on it, he likes the power.

I however, do tend to speak ill. Not a fan of their customer service, their reputation as a company is horrible. What do you expect from a company that ships out motors missing pistons?!

No lie, this happened to a former instructor of mine at WyoTech.

imo, S&S is worth it. Just don't get 'em through J&P. Last time I checked, J&P had the highest mark-up of any S&S distrib.

That pressure gauge reading at running temp is normal It onlyneeds 3psig to keep an oil pressure switch in a normal mode ( red warning light off)) If you have 30 psig plus reading cold and the oil is returning to the oil tank your ok

I have a 100" Revtech that is very hard to start. How did you solve your starting problem? steve@kdmelectricllc.com
