If you've got over 25 miles on it, it's as broke in as it's going to get. Once the rings seat go for it. I dynoed mine with about 125 miles, 75 of that was riding it to the dyno. Also, just curious as to why you used adjustable push rods?

i used the pushrods last year when i did the cams so i just kept them i figured if i want to try a different cam it would save a little work ....even tho they are a pain in the *** to adjust.... i have aout 50 miles on it ... so you think its ready to go eh?

Did you end up doing any headwork? If not, planning on it in the future? It will really bring that baby alive!

Just a little curious. If you are going to break the top end down and go with a 103 kit then why not go ahead and go to a 106?
