Yes, won the money for 2018 in the Evo class, thanks to @Hillsidecycle.com head work and Pauls engine been trying for three years. Second time in the final round, Lots of guys were surprised how quick this bike is.

Oh, btw, we purchased all the remaining inventory/tools/fixtures from Thunderin' Cycles, Watertown, NY, last July.

Not trying to take over the thread.. But what was your bike tuned at and how many inches. I've had several builds from Scott and am thinking this is the year I might take my 98 Fatboy to Lebanon Valley..

Before we owned a dyno, back in the early 1990's we built an 80" Evo for a Syracuse customer.(83" with over bore)
Lieneweber E-4 cam if I remember, Arias pistons, our heads, S&S E/Thunderjet, 30" drag pipes, Dyna S ignition.
Compression warranted 110 Sunoco.
In a rigid frame(read lightweight) the first/only pass at ESTA Dragway, Cicero, NY, went 11.43/117 mph, without any testing, or any dyno time.
We were there to lend tech support to him that day.
It had the earmarks of 10's, but he never worked with it.

We all kind of made it a Hillside thread, it was tuned by Rob’s Dyno portable setup 85 hp 90 tq S&S super E in and D&D fat cat out.
10:25 to 1, I think @ .20 over just a clean up over bore, and of course the heads ported and valve job by Hillside with W6 Cam
