Well I'm semi done with the build. Engine is complete. Only thing left is adding the fuel tank.
So I have some options with the tune. Someone help me out here. I've spoken with several different tuners and some have told me that I didn't need to break the motor in. There advise, put it on the dyno and do the tune? I'm not sure I want to go that route, I was just wondering if anyone had done this?

Yep got her running. Turned out the pushrods were not adjusted correctly. Haven't had it tuned yet because I had to go out of town. When I get back my local HD shop is going to put a break in tune for me. I think I feel more comfortable doing going that route instead of just throwing it on the dyno with zero miles...
Here's the finish, finish product.
We started it just for a few seconds just so see how she'd sound and I have to admit. I can't wait to get see what she'll do!
