Default first ride on new build

So I got everything squared away finally and got the heat cycles done and then said it's time for a ride (plus run the smart tune)

holy ****! That hammer performance 98 in kit and the s&s 585 must have been made for eachother..... what a beautiful machine now! Other than some front exhaust side rocker box noise ( will pull cover tomorrow) that bike pulls from 2k like a train! I was expecting to get it to come alive at 28 or 29 but hot damn. I don't know what else to say but what a beast and that Thunderheader really likes the new build also. The sound the tone the power holy beejesus now I need to find some money for heads (or buy some cheap used heads) and really see what that engine can do

Congrats. Get it tuned by someone that knows their **** and knows thunderheader and you'll see how it could run. What are the rest of the details?

here is the least expensive way to go with your heads.
http://www.bigboyzheadporting.com/showthread.php?p=17. I'm sure though that your not gonna pull it apart anytime soon. Too bad you didn't do it along with the big bore.Like vdop said have it tuned by a knowledgable tuner. Thats just as important as everythng else.
