PV-cost but I like everything about it! I do not have a laptop or a windows PC so the on board powervision works for me and I might mount it to the bars. Very user friendly. I have yet to dyno it. The map is spot on so far and I can auto tune if I want. So far no cons. I had a SERT befor this and that was a pain in the ***.

Hardly have any time today, tomorrow and Tuesday should be better but I installed the ACRs. I want senna to know that I did torque those babies down at 180 in lbs
. First pic shows the Loctite 246 required - cost $20 for that little bottle! Second pic show the special Screaming Eagle ACR tool that senna wished he had bought ~ $40, I have it tilted over to see the opening made for the wire coming from the ACR.

I used red loctite on mine. The tech who originaly installed them said he used blue per the manual. Some I have seen new had a red patch of loctite out of the box. IIRC mine looked white out of the box, could be blue though.
In the end we never put loctite on spark plugs and the manage to stay in. But they are not as hard to access either so some insurance is nice.
Might be interesting to know the heat range of the different loctites. I imagine if the exhaust is seeing 800 to a 1000 deg that ACR is seeing similar temps?

Got some work done today, not as much as I would like but taking my time and trying get it done right. Wished I had spent some of my time waiting on the head gaskets doing more cleaning, I did some but should have done more. I spent about 2 1/2 hours just cleaning my rocker housings and all the fastener holes:
Before:
After scraping, red Scotchbrite, a little grinding/smoothing the rough areas, thread hole cleaning, and overall cleaning:

Installed the Rocker Housing Gasket covering the Breather channel. You will be able to read "Front" if installing it correctly on the front cylinder and "Rear" if correct on the rear.
I used those oil pump alignment fasteners I got from Heartland to help align the rocker housing, really worked great.

Install the rockers and breather assemblies, I went ahead and changed out the old Umbrella valves, baffles, and filters - really was not much $$. When installing the rockers I finger tightened the 4 fasteners then pulled the rocker toward the cam side and torqued it down - was told about this step by an expert type over at HTT Forums, he said this will help the pushrods to not hit the tubes.
Here is a pic of the "Dogbone" tool that helps you torque down the rocker fasteners, I kept it at 90 degrees to the wrench so I would not have to do torque amount adjustments.
