Yep, I told you when we started that I would be happy with 120/120 but obviously a 124 is going to easily surpass those numbers. As of right now I am completely satisfied with 129/146. I never thought that it would break the 140 ft lb mark. Yep longevity was the key word in this build but when you go big displacement the numbers obviously climb with it. Maybe I'll go with 5.3 next winter when I upgrade the basket and possibly chain drive, for now the 4.9 will be fine, I don't plan on riding WOT all day long. **** it may not see WOT for a year haha. I jumped on it when I dropped the trailer off and the *** end was trying to pass the front at about 1/2-3/4 throttle

No doubt, no doubt.
Alright, here are the conditions, say drive train stays together, only change is the best tire for the 1/4 mile.
Within 1/2 second, where 'bouts would it place?
I know some of you guys have an educated approximation.
And I am 100% durability, all for it, I'm with you fellars.

Congrats brother, may I suggest you talk to Frank @ Dragos bike works about his exhaust system whenever you go to upgrade? His 2-1's are the real deal and I would be curious what your numbers would be like with his Dagula and what your TQ curve would be like.
